Simple And Efficient Implementation Of Two-Phase Interleaved Boost Converter For Renewable Energy Source

-DC-DC Boost Converters serves many purposes and usually required in many applications which has a low output voltage for renewable energy sources such as Fuel cells, Batteries, Photo-voltaic cells. Interleaved Boost converter (IBC) has better performance characteristics when compared to a conventional boost converter due to its increased efficiency, reduction in size and greater reliability. IBC consists of a number of boost converters connected in parallel and controlled by the interleaved method which has the same switching frequency and phase shift. This paper focuses on the design aspects of two phase interleaved boost converter. The various parameters of the IBC are compared to a conventional boost converter. Simulation studies have been carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Theoretical analysis is done to emphasis the benefits of the interleaved boost converter. Key words--IBC , MATLAB , ripple and efficiency.
