Abstract

This paper proposes soft switching boost converter operating in zero current switching(ZCS) mode for photovoltaic and fuel cell power generation. The proposed topology is capable of reducing the size, and capability of passive element by using soft switching, and it allows for reduction of IGBT switching losses, for the increased of switching frequency. A detail mode analysis of operating in presented. We present the converter topology, principle of operation and simulation results obtained from the PSIM simulator. The performance of the proposed technique in evaluation on 1kW(380V,2.6A) experimental prototype circuit operating at 30kHz.
