DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF HIGH GAIN CASCADED BOOST CONVERTER FOR DC MICROGRID

Abstract

Due to their increased efficiency, stability, reduced component count, and lower cost, boost converters are growing in popularity. Additionally, a variety of electrical equipment, including huge machines that require high power and low-power devices, can be used with boost converters. Given the wide range of applications that microgrids have nowadays, this project takes into consideration the development of a cascaded boost converter design for the DC microgrid. The most crucial application is that a converter is a great way to increase voltage while using renewable energy sources. This project comprises the comparison of results extracted from simulation part and hardware implementation. Generally, this project demonstrates the steps that were used to develop the hardware design and the challenges encountered during the process.
