Design and Analysis of an Interleaved Multilevel Cascaded Boost Converter for Photovoltaic Applications
摘要
This paper proposes a novel Interleaved Multilevel Cascaded Boost Converter (IMCBC) for photovoltaic (PV) applications, which combines the benefits of interleaved, multilevel, and cascaded converter topologies. This converter is suitable for photovoltaic (PV) systems with modest input voltages due to its high efficiency, decreased voltage stress, and high step-up voltage gain. Although the multilayer structure enables a greater voltage gain, the interleaved configuration minimizes current ripple and modest Although the multilevel structure enables a greater voltage gain, the interleaved configuration minimizes current ripple and improves efficiency. PV fed the maximum output voltage is 255 V for the third level. MATLAB/Simulink is used for a comprehensive analysis and simulation of the IMCBC, demonstrating its effectiveness in converting DC power from a PV-fed h-bridge inverter into AC power.
