Description
Summary:This paper presents a new soft switching (SS) multiphase interleaved boost converter (MIBC) consisting of three boost converters (BCs) that operate rapidly and efficiently to charge a lithium-ion battery for photovoltaic (PV) power system applications. This suggested converter can operate both active power switches at zero current switching (ZCS), and when switched off, it works at zero voltage switching (ZVS), which reduces switching losses and increases switching efficiency (SF). An interleaving structure is employed to decrease the conduction losses and reduce the input current ripple (ICR) and output voltage ripple (OVR) to increase the power rating. The suggested converter regulates the input and output power by modulating the phase shift in the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique using the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm via two closed feedback loops, one for a slower external loop and the other for a faster PWM control internal loop, similar to current mode control. The suggested converter has high voltage (HV) gain due to the coupled inductors (CIs), which act as a transformer. This magnetic design structure in both the steady-state and transient states also decreases the size and enhances the converter’s performance. Finally, the suggested converter was experimentally verified on a 285W prototype, and the maximum efficiency was found to be 98%, based on modeling and experimental data.
