Abstract

In this paper, a new approach of DC-DC boost converter has been designed with the aid of an additional inductor, diode and capacitor offering a flexibility in electrical performance and challenging cost problem. The analysis of the modified boost converter is found out an advantage of improving the voltage gain with various choice of loads without any limitations in the duty ratio. The principle operation of the modified boost converter for steady state response in continuous conduction mode is discussed. The performance of the proposed converter is compared to the conventional converter, as the experimental data in the laboratory tests show full agreement with the simulation results.
