High gain dc-dc Converter

What is it about?

Dc-Dc boost converters are used to transfer power between low voltage sources to a higher dc bus. These converters are widely employed in applications such as uninterruptible power supplies UPS, Electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems, and high intensity discharge automotive headlamps.

Why is it important?

In many modern applications, such as electric vehicle drives and grid connected PV systems, it is often necessary to achieve a stable steady state output voltage despite variation in the source voltage. Furthermore, the ratio of input voltage to output voltage can often be considerable.
