Problem Definition
By connecting the PV solar cell can in series to produce the
high voltages but, the voltage might effect by shadow effect.
If any one of the PV cell is broken ,the PV array leads to
shutdown the grid.
Those problems can be overcome by using the converters(DC-
DC converter).

ABSTRACT
The coupled inductor and switched capacitor a technique is proposed in high
voltage step up dc-dc converter.
The capacitors are charged in parallel and discharged in series by the coupled
inductor, stacking on the output capacitor.
On performing this project can achieve high step up voltage gain in which
the input dc voltage is 24 volts and we will get output voltage 400 volts with
appropriate duty ratio.
Besides the voltage spike on the main switch can be clamped, therefore
conduction losses are reduced and hence efficiency will be increased.

Introduction
Renewable energy systems are
more and more widely used to
provide electric energy.
Energy derived from natural
processes that are replenished at a
faster rate than they are consumed.
28% of electricity was produced by
Renewable energy sources in over
all production.
5
Modernly converters are classified into two types
Non isolation converters(basic):
Buck converter
Boost converter
Buck-boost converter
Isolation converters:
Fly back converter
Forward converter

Comparison Of Converters
Buck converter: step-down, has one switch, simple, high
efficiency greater than 90%, provides one polarity output voltage
and unidirectional output current.
Boost converter: step-up, has one switch, simple, high
efficiency, provides one polarity output voltage.
Buck-boost converter: step-up/step-down, has one switch,
simple, high efficiency, provides output voltage polarity reversal.
Fly back converter: four-quadrant operation, has multiple
switches, can be used in regenerative braking.

HISTORY
Integrated boost- sepic converter
• Limited step up voltage
• Parasitic resistance
Boost converter with coupled inductor
• Active clamp circuit
• Zero-voltage switching

Transformer less dc-dc converter
• Conventional dc-dc boost converter has low efficiency
• High step up voltage gain is low
A Generalized high voltage gain boost converter
• High voltage gain
• Lower blocking voltage across the controller switches

Design & Analysis
The DC to DC converter is used to step up the given input
voltage.
Input voltage is 24V as mentioned in the proposed converter.
That volage is step up by using the converter into 400V DC
supply without any ripples at load.
