ABSTRACT: Step up conversion is widely used in many applications such as Electric


vehicles, Photovoltaic (PV) system, Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and fuel
cell system. This paper shows simulation of conventional and interleaved dc-dc
boost converter using NI MULTISIM software. These converters are tested by
varying the input voltage with constant duty cycle in Continuous Conduction Mode
(CCM). The performance parameters of both the converters are compared. Control
of these converters is done by switching signals having fixed switching frequency
.Using interleaved converter we can reduced ripple at output voltage and output
current.

I. INTRODUCTION

For power electronic interfaces in renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic power
systems and fuel cells DC-DC converters are more important components. Main
disadvantage of these renewable sources is that they give low voltage output and
thus needs booster in order to provide enough output voltage. Thus Interleaved Boost
converter is a solution for such a systems, which can give high step up voltage
having smaller ripple to the output voltage and output current. Also there is low
switching loss for this circuit having faster transient response. Interleaved boost
converter is made up of two identical boost conversion units with an auxiliary
inductor. Both the active power switches of this converter can turn on at zero voltage
due to this there is reduction in their switching losses which increases the conversion
efficiency. Operation analysis and design of the converter becomes quite simple as
both the parallel operated boost conversion units are identical(Engineering, 2015).

II. BASIC BOOST CONVERTER

A lift converter is perhaps the easiest sort of switch mode converter. As the name
proposes, it takes an information voltage and lifts or builds it. All it comprises of is
an inductor, a semiconductor switch (nowadays it's a MOSFET, since you can get
truly pleasant ones nowadays), a diode and a capacitor. Additionally, required is a
wellspring of an intermittent square wave. This can be something as straightforward
as a 555 clock or even a committed SMPS IC like the celebrated MC34063A IC.

As you can see, there are only a few parts required to make a boost converter. It is less
cumbersome than an AC transformer or inductor. They’re so simple because they were
originally developed in the 1960s to power the electronics systems on aircraft. It was a
requirement that these converters be as compact and as efficient as possible. The biggest
advantage boost converters offer is their high efficiency – some of them can even go up to
99%! In other words, 99% of the input energy is converted to useful output energy, only
1% is wasted. Boost converter gives its output voltage higher than the input voltage.
Operation of this converter is controlled by periodically opening and closing an electronic
switch. Fig.1 shows circuit for basic dc-dc boost-converter. This boost converter consists
of source voltage VS, inductor L, controlled semiconductor switch S (such as MOSFET/
IGBT/ BJT), diode D, capacitor C, Load Resistance RL and output voltage of converter
VO. The diode D becomes OFF When switch S gets closed and the energy from the
source is gets stored into the inductor L. The diode-D becomes ON when switch S gets
opened and energy stored in the inductor gets transferred to the filter capacitor C. Longer
the switch is closed, more the energy gets stored in to the inductor and as soon as diode
becomes ON this energy gets transferred to the capacitor. Fig.2 shows square wave given
to the semiconductor switch S and output current across inductor L. For the analysis of
the boost converter basic parameters used are:

I. Output voltage VO,

II. VR – Output ripple voltage,

III.IR- Output ripple current.

IV. F-the switching frequency of the switch S in Hz(Engineering, 2015).

BOOST CONVERTER USING MULTISIM
Simulation is the important step to examine behaviour and performance of electric
circuits before hardware

implementation. Boost converter can operate in both discontinuous current mode (DCM)
& continuous current mode (CCM), these modes can be determined through the value of
inductor current. But in this paper only continuous current mode (CCM) is used for
performance analysis. The simulation models designed in MULTISIM is shown below in
fig.3,

IV. INTERLEAVED BOOST CONVERTER
In interleaving procedure an interconnection of numerous exchanging cells is finished by
synchronizing a few recurrence sources which assists with expanding the powerful
heartbeat recurrence and working them with stage shift identified with number of
exchanging cells. Interleaving procedure saves energy and improves power change
without influencing transformation effectiveness. This converter is comprises of two lift
transformation units parallely associated, having switches S1 and S2, inductors L1 and
L2, diodes D1 and D2, Capacitor C and burden resistor RL with normal info source
(VIN). The Circuit chart for interleaved dc-dc help converter is appeared in Fig.7.
The IL1-current in the inductor L1 increments directly when the switch S1 gets turned
ON, and energy gets put away in the inductor L1. Diode D1 conducts and the put away
energy in the inductor diminishes with a slant dependent on the distinction between the
information and yield voltage when switch S1 is gets killed. The inductor gets released
moving current to stack RL through diode D1. After half exchanging pattern of switch S1
switch S2 gets gone ON to finish the pattern of occasions. Compelling wave recurrence at
the yield capacitor is twice than that of a solitary stage support converter is because of the
mix of both the force channels at yield capacitor and abundancy of the information
current wave is little. This is the upside of this geography for the renewable energy
sources(Engineering, 2015).

The phase difference PD between two switching cells is given by,

Where „N‟ is the number of partially connected boost converters. Thus, for a two-phase
interleaved boost converter N=2 and phase difference become 180 degrees. According to
switching of converter it operates in three modes:
I. Mode I: switch S1 closed, switch S2 opened
II. Mode II: switch S1 opened, switch S2 opened
III. Mode III: switch S1 opened, switch S2 closed(Engineering, 2015).
