INTRODUCTION

This converter is a newly designed single input multiple output dc-dc converters with coupled inductor. The proposed converter uses only one power switch and main objective of high-efficiency power conversion, and different outputs, high step up ratio. The techniques of soft switching and voltage clamping are used to reduce the switching loss and conduction loss. a dc-dc converter is an electronic circuit which is used to convert a source of direct current (dc) from one voltage level to another voltage level. The boost Converter is a single input Single output device. To obtain multiple outputs, number of switches will be increases. This in turn increases the switching loss and stress. And that efficiency is low. The existing system is single-input single-output dc-dc converter with different voltage gains are combined to satisfy the requirement of different voltage levels, so this system control is complicated and cost is high. The existing system of the single input multi output dc-dc converter has a more then three switches for one output were required. In this method only suitable for low voltage and low power applications. The existing system of the dc –dc converter is generating buck, boost and inverter output simultaneously. However, over three switches for one output required. It is suitable for low voltage and low power applications.

High efficiency isolated boost dc-dc converter for high power low voltage fuel cell applications proposed by Morten Nyman and Michael A.E. Anderson deals with the high efficiency boost converter used for boosting the input voltage to obtain maximum output voltage here isolation provided using transformer. The proposed systems are increasing the conversion efficiency and reduce the manufacturing cost, voltage gain, and control complexity. The middle capacitor voltage is depends on auxiliary inductor. The output of the high-voltage dc bus can be controlled by a PI control.

B. operating modes of dc-dc converter

MODE1:

Fig.3 Circuit diagram of Mode 1 operation

Fig.3 shows the Circuit diagram of Mode 1 operation. In this mode of operation the main switch s1 is turned ON. And diode D4 is turned OFF. Because the polarity of the coupled inductor Tr terminal is positive, the diode D3 turns ON. The secondary current iLS of the coupled inductor charges to the middle voltage capacitor C2. When the auxiliary inductor discharge the energy completely, at the end of the mode diode D2 turns OFF.

MODE 2:

Fig.4 Circuit diagram of Mode2 operation

Fig.4 shows the Circuit diagram of Mode 2 operation. In this mode of operation the main switch S1 is still in ON condition. The magnetizing current ILMP increases gradually in linear way. Due to primary inductor charged by input power source. Middle voltage capacitor C2 is charged by secondary voltage I LS through the diode D3. Both the voltages Vlmp and vFC is equal in mode 1 and mode 2. The ascendant slope of the leakage current of the coupled inductor (diLKP/dt) at both mode1 and mode2 is different due to the path of the auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary inductors release its charges completely, at the end of the mode1 the diode D2 turns OFF.

MODE 3:

Fig. 5 Circuit diagram of Mode3 operation

Fig.5 shows the Circuit diagram of Mode 3 operation. In this mode of operation the main switch S1 is turned off. The leakage current released from secondary side of coupled inductor charges the capacitor through diode D3. When the voltage across the main switch S1 is greater than the voltage across the capacitor C1, primary side leakage current is transmitted to auxiliary inductor Laux, and the diode D2 conducts. Auxiliary inductor supplies the load through diode D2.At the end of this mode diode D3 becomes reverse biased due to complete discharge of secondary side leakage current.

MODE 4:

Fig.6 Circuit diagram of Mode4 operation

Fig.6 shows the Circuit diagram of Mode 4 operation. In this mode of operation the main switch S1 is persistently turned OFF. When the leakage energy has released from the coupled inductor primary side. The secondary current (iLS) of the coupled inductor is induced in reverse from the magnetising inductor Lmp through ideal transformer, and diode D4 is conducting the energy to the HVSC. At the same time primary side leakage inductor is still released to auxiliary inductor, the diode D2 keeps turn ON. The diodeD2 is conducting the auxiliary inductor current to output load.

MODE 5:

Fig.7 Circuit diagram of Mode5 operation

Fig.7 shows the Circuit diagram of Mode 5 operation. In this mode of operation the main switch is still turn OFF; the primary leakage current is equal to the auxiliary inductor current. At the time diode D1 is turns OFF. The input power source is connected in series with primary winding of the coupled inductor Tr, and auxiliary inductor Lax, and supply the output load through diode D2.At the same time, the input power source is connected in series with secondary winding of the coupled inductor Tr, and middle voltage capacitor (C2), and to release the energy into the HVSC through the diode D4.

MODE 6:

Fig.8 Circuit diagram of Mode 6 operation

Fig.8 shows the Circuit diagram of Mode 6 operation. In this mode of operation the main switch S1 is triggered. The input power source, clamped capacitor C1, coupled inductor secondary winding and middle voltage capacitor are connected in series, and energy release into the HVSC through diode D4. Diode D1 is a low voltage shotty diode; it will be cut off without a reverse-recovery current. The main switch is S1 is turned ON, ZCS condition and soft-switching is helpful to reduce the switching loss. At the mode of end the secondary current decays to zero. After that, next switching cycle is started and repeats the operation in the mode1.
