SIX PHASE BOOST CONVERTER WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY OF ENERGY CONVERSION

This article introduce a novel concept of boost converter with high efficiency of energy conversion. This new concept allows effective utilization of energy from photovoltaic solar cell. The effective utilization of energy is ensured by adding five parallel legs to the conventional boost converter with one leg. Appropriate algorithm of switches control allows to take the photovoltaic output energy one of these six parallel legs in every moment. The simulation model has been built and the simulation results obtained to verify the theoretical properties of multiphase boost converter. The suitable algorithm of switches control ensures that almost whole photovoltaic output energy from the photovoltaic panel is effective utilized.
