Generalized Steady-State Analysis on Developed Series of Cascade Boost Converters

This paper performs a generalized steady-state analysis on various developed series of cascade boost converters based on the switching signal flow graph (SFG) method. A unified switching model is constructed and can be applied to all the circuits. The effects caused by diodes are considered. With the applications to the example, the proposed generalized analytical method shows the advantages of high convenience and practicability. The experimental results are provided to support the theoretical analysis
