Abstract
In renewable energy systems, the output voltage obtained will be of low level. In order to bring the voltage to nominal level, we need a step up DC-DC converter. Conventional boost converters has disadvantages like switch voltage stress, diode reverse recovery losses and high duty cycle losses. This paper presents a Multilevel DC-DC Boost Converter. To obtain 4 level output voltage, required number of switches, inductors, diodes and capacitors are one, one, seven and seven respectively. This converter has the ability to maintain equal voltage magnitudes in all the 4 output levels and also has a command over the input current. In this paper, a four level boost converter was simulated and implemented in hardware for an input and output specifications of 20 volts and 220 volts respectively. © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2017.
