Abstract
In this paper a full soft-switching high step-up DC-DC converter is introduced as an alternative approach to module integrated converters for photovoltaic applications. The presented operation principle and key equations can be used as design guidelines for component and parameter estimation in practical applications. The proposed DC-DC converter was verified by help of simulations and experiments. Power loss analysis based on the semiconductor datasheet values showed that the converter tends to achieve an efficiency of 92.8% at the maximum power point.
