Abstract :
In this paper a new isolated SEPIC converter which is a proper choice for PV applications, is introduced and analyzed. The proposed converter has the advantage of high voltage gain while the switch voltage stress is same as a regular SEPIC converter. The converter operating modes are discussed and design considerations are presented. Also simulation results are illustrated which justifies the theoretical analysis. Finally the proposed converter is improved using active clamp technique.
