High-Gain Low-Ripple Interleaved DC-DC Converter with Wide Operating Range

As the most significant contributor to air pollution, global progress in vehicle technologies has necessitated paying further attention to eco-friendly, emission-free, fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). To this end, a boosting DC-DC converter is proposed to meet the FCEV application's requirements, focusing on voltage boost, low input current ripple, and wide operating ranges. To ensure the proper operation of each circuit, it was simulated in a MATLAB SIMULINK environment, and waveforms were presented. The results show that the configuration fulfills the requirements and shows better performance and higher boosting ability while maintaining the advantages of the conventional ones.
