Design of Quadratic Boost Converter for Renewable Applications

This project work aims in exploring a quadratic boost converter which has low voltage ripple achieved using extreme duty cycles and PWM strategy. Normal quadratic boost converter topologies require a higher amount of stored energy by available in the capacitors used. The energy stored capability is directly proportional to the size of the capacitors. By using the minimum stored energy method, the converter size reduces. Also this transformer less proposed topology is suitable for renewable energy applications.
