Multi-input Step-Up Converters Based on the

Switched-Diode-Capacitor Voltage
Accumulator
Introduction:
Energy sources such as photovoltaic cells (PVs), fuel cells (FCs),
batteries, etc., play a very important role in distributed generation
systems. The interconnection of the renewable and alternative energy
sources is achieved through electronic interfaces. Therefore, power
electronic interfaces become essential for the integration of different
power generation units with distinct electrical characteristics into a
common system while still achieving high efficiency and good
performances.
To attain the goal of integration, a multi-input converter (MIC) is a
perfect choice, which may integrate diverse power sources and provide
power to a common load in a single conversion stage. Many papers
related to a variety of MIC topologies have been published. A systematic
approach to synthesizing MICs by introducing the pulsating voltage
source cells and the pulsating current source cells into six basic PWM
converters is proposed. Four rules that must be observed in order to be
able to realize a MIC from its single-input version are listed. In the
renewable power generation system, MIC topologies are usually
integrated with a dc link. However, most of these MICs do not take high
voltage gain into consideration, since the output of PVs, FCs, and
batteries is typically unregulated low-level dc voltages that needs to be
stepped up to regulated, high-level voltages for practical applications.

Existing system:
The boost converter can provide a high step up voltage gain with
an extremely high duty cycle. In practice, the step-up voltage gain is
limited by the effect of the power switch, rectifier diode, and the
equivalent series resistance of the inductors and capacitors. Also, the
extreme duty cycle operation may result in serious reverse-recovery and
electromagnetic interference problems.

Proposed system:
To integrate different energy sources well and achieve high voltage
gain, one possible solution to this problem is the application of the
switched-capacitor technique on classical nonisolated dcdc converters.
Based on it, a parallel switched-diode-capacitor voltage accumulator
(SDCVA) composed of several switched-diode-capacitor cells in parallel
and a serial SDCVA composed of several switched-diode-capacitor cells
in series are proposed in the paper. Then, a multi-input step-up converter
based on the parallel SDCVA and multi-input step-up converters based
on the serial SDCVA are, respectively, presented. Both of them achieve
