This invention uses a series capacitor between the DC voltage source and the output load, providing voltage isolation to the non-isolated DC-DC converter and improving reliability. The switched capacitor and switched inductor units are constructed using diodes, simplifying control.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power electronics technology, specifically relating to a non-isolated DC-DC converter and control method based on switched capacitors and inductors. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid pace of industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and modernization, human demand for energy is increasing. The shortage of fossil fuels and environmental problems have become pressing issues that must be addressed. Developing and utilizing renewable energy is a crucial way to solve these problems. However, the output voltage of renewable energy sources is often insufficient, necessitating the use of high-voltage boost DC-DC converters to increase the output voltage. High-voltage boost DC-DC converters are divided into isolated and non-isolated types. Non-isolated converters are widely used due to their high conversion efficiency, low losses, and simple design.

[0003] In existing technologies, high voltage gain and minimal input current ripple can be provided by combining two boost converters with winding cross-coupled inductors and voltage multipliers. However, this approach has drawbacks such as high cost, large size, and complex design. Another approach is to increase voltage gain by controlling the number of turns of the coupled inductor, but this results in leakage inductance and reduced efficiency. Yet another approach is to achieve high voltage gain through cascaded converters, but this makes the control unit more complex due to the use of a large number of components.

[0004] Patent publication number CN110048611A, entitled "High Voltage Gain Soft-Switching DC-DC Converter Based on Switched Capacitors and Coupled Inductors," addresses the problem that existing soft-switching DC-DC converters, in order to achieve a high boost ratio, generate large turn-off voltage spikes in the switching transistors, thus affecting converter efficiency. Based on switched capacitors and coupled inductors, a high voltage gain DC-DC converter topology is proposed. This patent application utilizes parallel charging and series discharging of switched capacitors, combined with coupled inductors, to achieve a high boost ratio and reduce voltage stress on the switching transistors and diodes. However, this patent application cannot solve the problems of low gain, high switching losses, a large number of components, and complex design. Summary of the Invention
