ZVT Interleaved Boost Converter

Abstract: ZVT interleaved boost DC/DC converter is a converter in which all the power semiconductor devices operate in soft switching with the help of a secondary switch. Zero voltage soft switching technique is used for the interleaved boost and secondary circuit is operated in zero current switching. The secondary circuit does not impose any extra voltage and current stresses on the converter. The reverse recovery problem of the diodes is also alleviated. The implemented system is validated with MATLAB/Simulink.

Keywords: Coupled inductor, interleaved boost converter, zero current switching, zero voltage switching.
