Item High-gain DC-DC converter with zero input ripple current : Design and Analysis*(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Mishra, S.; Shetty, S.; Vinatha Urundady, U.In this paper, a non-isolated high-gain dc-dc converter that utilizes switched-capacitor and switched-inductor (SC-SL) network is proposed and thoroughly analyzed. The proposed topology features a single switch and less number of passive elements as compared to recently emerged high-gain converters. The mathematical analysis of the proposed converter is carried out to find the converter voltage gain and stresses on power devices.The converter achieves a gain of nine times at 50% duty cycle with comparatively less voltage stress on power devices. Additionally, the converter encompasses the current mirror ripple cancellation circuit (CMRCC) to eliminate input current ripples. The converter is modelled and verified in continuous conduction mode(CCM) using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The obtained findings exhibit that the input current ripples are effectively eliminated by the CMRCC implementation. © 2023 IEEE.Item Single-Switch Continuous Current High-Gain DC-DC Converter with Common Ground for Vehicular Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Shetty, S.; Prahllada, A.M.; Vinatha Urundady, U.Efficient power conversion is essential for integrating fuel cells into hybrid vehicles, where high voltage gain, minimal switching devices, high efficiency, and low input current ripple are critical for performance. This paper presents a high-gain quadratic boost DC-DC converter tailored for fuel cell hybrid vehicles, utilizing a switched inductor-capacitor technique with a clamping circuit to reduce voltage stress while maintaining a common ground structure. The converter’s operation, component design, and controller development are analyzed in detail, with comparisons to existing high-gain topologies. A 400V, 200W prototype was constructed and tested under varying supply and load conditions, achieving a maximum efficiency of 93.5% with a gain of 13.33 at 58% of rated power. To validate its performance, a 20% step change in the input voltage was tested, demonstrating a robust transient response. This aligns with practical fuel cell systems, where reactant partial pressure regulation typically keeps input voltage variations within 20%. Experimental results confirm the converter’s scalability for fuel cell vehicle applications, underscoring its potential to advance sustainable automotive technologies. © 2013 IEEE.
