A New Coupled Inductor Nonisolated High Step-Up Quasi Z-Source DC–DC Converter

In this article, a new nonisolated high step-up quasi Z-source (QZS) dc–dc converter with coupled inductor techniques is presented, which is suitable for renewable applications. The main advantages of the proposed topology are continuous input current, common ground between load and input dc source, low normalized voltage stress on the semiconductors (switch/diodes), and low total voltage stress on devices compared to the conventional QZS converter. However, increasing the turns ratio value of the coupled inductor windings not only limit the duty cycle but also leads to decrease the voltage stress on switch/diodes and increase the output voltage level. The operating performance of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and comparison between the proposed converter and other published works (i.e., QZS converters) are provided. Finally, one prototype at 500 W is built and tested, which shows experimental results and theoretical analysis verify each other well.
