High-Gain DC-DC Converter with Single-Switch for Renewable Energy Applications

Renewable energy gains importance due to halting climate change, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and preserving a healthy ecosystem. It guarantees energy security by lowering reliance on fossil fuels, promotes economic growth by generating jobs, and encourages energy independence. Additionally, cleaner mobility and increased system resilience are made possible by decentralized power generation from renewable energy sources. Despite their numerous advantages, solar and wind energy are influenced by weather conditions, resulting in variability in energy production. This intermittency can make DC -DC converters as inevitably in the energy generation. Although many converters have been developed, this paper deals with the analysis of a high gain single switch DC-DC converter which enhances the efficiency. The designed converter is able to magnify the applied voltage by 13.4 times to produce the voltage 352V suitable for single phase grid integration.
