ABSTRACT

In this study, a mathematical modeling and analysis of high voltage gain pulse-width modulation boost converter with variable load application is proposed. The proposed converter has the capability of using two power switches to generate two outputs voltages with common ground, under balanced and unbalanced resistive load conditions. A pulse width modulation technique is adopted for the voltage control. A high frequency carrier signal is compared with two reference dc signal. The number of DC output voltage ports of the proposed converter can be increased by using more inductors, capacitors and power switches. In this research work, the analytical results based on variable load resistances of the proposed converter are obtained. The output voltage, input and inductors’ current waveforms are obtained under different loading conditions at constant duty ratios. The voltage drop across the individual load resistors gives the total output voltage with high voltage gain. Finally, the analytical results are reconfirmed by the MATLAB/Simulink/Power Systems’ results of 25 V supply with a dual 46 V output ports. Total output voltage of 92 V is also obtained. These results validate both methods. From bode plots, magnitude value of 50.2 dB at phase value of -90.7o with frequency value of 1400 rad/s are obtained when the load resistance R1 is less than R2, which showed a better performance when compared with other conditions.
