ABSTRACT---In this paper, a high efficiency high step-up
dcdc converter for PV systems is proposed. However, when
employed as the power conditioning unit inPhotovoltaic (PV)
systems. The concept is to utilize two capacitors and one
coupled inductor. The two capacitors are charged in parallel
during the switch-off period and are discharged in series
during the switch-on period by the energy stored in the
coupled inductor to achieve a high step-up voltage gain. In
addition, the leakage-inductor energy of the coupled inductor
is recycled with a passive clamp circuit. Thus, the voltage
stress on the main switch is reduced. The switch with low
resistance R ( ) can be adopted to reduce the conduction
loss. In addition, the reverse-recovery problem of the diodes
is alleviated, and thus, the efficiency can be further improved.
The simulation results have confirmed that high efficiency
and high step-up voltage gain can be achieved.
I.INTRODUCTION
In recent years, photovoltaic (PV) systems have
received unprecedented attention due to the concerns about
adverse Effects of extensive use of fossil fuels on the
environment and Energy security. Despite this high interest,
grid-connected PV Systems are still outnumbered by the
power generation schemes Based on oil, natural gas, coal,
nuclear, hydro, and wind [1]. SoFar, PV systems of capacities
on the order of tens of megawatts have been installed and
interfaced to the grid mainly at the primaryDistribution level.
PV system installations at the secondary Distribution level are
dominated by rooftop units with capacitieson the order of a
few kilowatts with no significant impact on the existing
power systems. With the growing interest in solarenergy and
adoption of national policies in favor of green energy, a
significant increase in the number of large-size PV plants,
with significant impact on the existing power grid is
expected. The two main components of a PV system with
potential for improvement are PV modules and power
electronic inverters.Thus, high step-up dcdc converters are
usually used as the front-end converters to step from low
voltage to high voltage which are required to have a large
conversion ratio, high efficiency, and small volume [11].

operation.
C. DCM Operation:
To simplify the analysis of DCM operation, leakage
inductor Lk of the coupled inductor is neglected. Fig. 4 shows
the typical waveforms when the proposed converter operates
in DCM, and Fig. 5 shows each mode of the operating stages.
In this section, there are three modes, and the operating
modes are described as follows.
1) Mode I [t0, t1]: During this time interval, S is turned on.
The current-flow path is shown in Fig. 7(a). The magnetizing
inductor Lm stores the energy from dc source Vin. Thus, iLm
increases linearly. Also, the energy of dc-source Vin is
transferred to the secondary side of the coupled inductor,
which is connected with capacitors C2 and C3 in series to
provide their energies to output capacitor Co and load R. This
mode ends when S is turned off at t = t1.
2) Mode II [t1, t2]: During this time interval, S is turned off.
The current-flow path is shown in Fig. 7(b). The energy of
magnetizing inductor Lm transfers to capacitors C1, C2, and
C3. Output capacitor Co provides its energy to load R. This
mode ends when the energy stored in Lm is depleted at t = t2.
3) Mode III [t2, t3]: During this time interval, S remains
turned off. The current-flow path is shown in Fig. 7(c). Since
the energy stored in Lm is depleted, the energy stored in Co is
discharged to load R. This mode ends when S is turned on at t
= t3.
