Abstract :
In this paper, a high voltage gain converter is presented, which is combination of two same value of capacitor for the continuous maintenance of energy to the load. The voltages across the switches are minimized by the help of two output capacitor and the coupled inductor with changing the turn´s ratio of self inductance. The resultant voltage gain of the circuit is 15.5 times of input voltage and it is greater than that of the existing step-up converter. Since the proposed converter is simulated with the help of PSIM software tool. Thus the resultant parameters of simulation with 372V output voltage from the source of 24V input voltage and 855W output power capacity of the load power is verified by the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
