Abstract
This article presents a new non-isolated DC-DC sextuple output hybrid triad converter configurations for high step-up renewable energy applications. Total 8 (eight) converters configurations are obtained by combining SEPIC/SI-SEPIC, Cuk/SI-Cuk, and Boost/SI-Boost which is highly suitable for step-up renewable applications where DC-DC multi-output converters/choppers are needed; such as a solar multilevel DC-AC converter (MLI), HVDC, hybrid/electric and electric vehicles. The most important characteristics of the proposed converter configurations are (i) only one power control semiconductor switch, (ii) offer six different DC outputs with different conversion ratio, (iii) non-isolated (without transformers) Converter topologies, (iv) high voltage at the output side without using large duty cycle and (v) modular DC-DC converter structure. The simulation results are presented and it validates the practicability, functionality, and the idea of suggested sextuple output hybrid triad converter configuration.
