Abstract :
This paper compares some topologies of non-insulated, step-up DC-DC converters that are capable of high voltage gain and bidirectional power flow and are suitable to high power applications. This comparison has the objective of selecting the best topology for the proposed scenario, which was based on specifications that are typical in renewable energy conversion and small electric vehicles systems. Experimental results obtained with the selected topology are presented.
