Implementation Of New Hybrid Quadratic Cuk Wide Voltage Supply Dc Dc Circuit For Standalone Pv Systems

Abstract: IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW HYBRID QUADRATIC-CUK WIDE VOLTAGE SUPPLY DC-DC CIRCUIT FOR STANDALONE PV SYSTEMS The present invention discloses a high-gain DC-DC power converter designed to address the limitations of conventional isolated and non-isolated converters in high-voltage electric vehicle applications powered by solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Traditional isolated converters, while capable of voltage amplification, suffer from excessive energy losses and system complexity due to components such as transformers and rectifiers. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel Hybrid Quadratic Boost and Cuk Converter (HQBC) is proposed. This converter achieves significantly higher voltage gain without relying on bulky magnetic isolation, thereby improving power supply quality and system efficiency. The HQBC architecture integrates the principles of both quadratic boost and Cuk converters and features an actively grounded power switch, which enhances safety, simplifies control, and supports high voltage conversion efficiency. The invention is particularly suited for sun-dependent PV systems where maximizing energy transfer and minimizing losses are critical.

In high voltage applications of electric vehicles, the output power from the solar PV system is not reaching up to the mark. So, the scholars implementing the various DC-DC high voltage converters for sun-dependent PV networks. As of now, there are two types of high-voltage converters available in the literature which are isolated and non-isolated power converters. Here, in the isolated converters, additional components like transformers and rectifiers make the system complex. However, these isolated circuits result in excessive component energy losses, which leads to the performance of the isolated power circuit decreasing. Therefore, to overcome this drawback, a high-gain DC-DC power converter is developed in this work to enhance the power supply quality. The advantages of this Hybrid Quadratic Boost and Cuk Converter (HQBC) contribute to excessive high voltage amplification monitoring with an actively positioned one grounded power switch.
Network Structure of the Proposed Circuit
Power converters like DC-DC quadratic type are implemented due to their high voltage gain features. These converters have a simple design configuration, only one active switch is needed. Whereas the delay in the switch voltage is related to the output voltage for real-time usage, there will be a reduction in the voltage gain which arises from the active state voltage drop, and unwanted resistors. In this work, a DC-DC type converter is developed to enhance the voltage gain. The schematic arrangement of the first planned converter illustrated in Fig.1 is known as the Hybrid Quadratic Boost and Cuk Converter (HQBC). The Hybrid quadratic boost and capacitor-coupled converter can be achieved by integrating a quadratic boost along with a capacitor-coupled converter, although ensuring the necessity to use only one active switch for an individual phase. In the characteristics of the HQBC configuration, we can observe the potential strain handled by the controlled switch should be less than the power output of the converter. Here, the proposed power converter operates in two modes: the constant conduction method (CCM) and the discontinuous constant conduction method (DCCM). The CCM mode is used to operate the steady-state PV cell during the multi-phase configuration and it is observed in the next sections.
Analysis of CCM and Its Operation
The working principle of the converter is illustrated in Fig.1(a). The converter operates in three switching periods. Here, the converter Fig.1(a) conducts in CCM mode. As stated previously, the present quadratic boost converter generates maximum stable output with referred to the applied voltage. Here, the performance rate of the optimal voltage gain Vout/VS depends on duty cycle D, as indicated in (1). In comparison with the boost converter, the quadratic boost converter exhibits high voltage gain up to 0.7 (3.3 to 11.1 at D=0.7). Here, identifies the stable condition of the converter in Fig.1(b), seeing that all components are stable. As per the analysis, waveforms shown in Fig. 2 enable the operating cycle, and the relation between load and flow of current concerning the switching ratio is determined from the voltage-current correlation in inductors La, Lb, and Lc. Observing this, the potential load is equivalent to the potential within the capacitor terminal Ca (Vout =VCa) and concerning the recent analysis converter voltage conversation ratio is given in Eq. (5). Analyzing (5) and (1) that shows that the power converter HQBC enhances the gain amplification factor Based on the existing calculations of the power converter, the correlation among the output load and input supply is represented in Eq. (6).
V_S*D+(1-D)*(V_S-V_(C_c ))=0 (1)
V_(C_c )*D+(1-D)(V_Cc-V_Ca+V_(C_b ))=0 (2)
D(V_Cb-V_Cc)+(1-D)V_(C_b )=0 (3)
V_out/V_in =(1+D*(1-D))/〖(1-D)〗^2 (4)
V_out/V_S =(1+D)/((1-D)^2 ) (5)
According to equation (4), it can be verified that HQBC provides maximum voltage amplification in comparison with the conventional type configuration. The relation between voltage gains and duty cycle related to power converters is observed in Fig.3. This plot represents that using the suggested power converters the voltage increases throughout all the operating cycle ratios, they outperform the traditional one. Concerning the performance of the designed DC-DC converters, the characteristics of this converter are related to the quadratic-type traditional converter. Hence, here, this work is considering the solar panel, the designed converters can be combined with open-loop and closed-loop operating methods.
The power point identifiers operate the on-off cycle ratio continuously until the peak power is obtained. In a controlled feedback system, preserving the potential level at a predefined rate is necessary. A PI controller has to consider, that this proportional integral controller has to be measured, by applying a regular technique for the traditional quadratic set-up as described. Additionally, a feedback control system has to apply an adaptive switching to the inductor input current iLa and a proportional-integral adjustment system to calculate the inductor input current iLa by applying the voltage.

Variations of Electric Potential and Currents
The variations of electric potential and currents in the semiconductor materials are controlled by the power delivered and the operating potential of the converter. A study of the HQBC converter indicates that peak voltage is preserved by the switch S represented by equation (6), at which VCa, VCb represent the mean values and ΔVCa, ΔVCb represent the voltage fluctuations of Ca, Cb, simultaneously. The maximum current rating of the switch changes based on the working condition related to the converter operating phase ratio of the D and output load current. The maximum current rating of the switch is represented by equation (6). As per the above investigation, there is a chance to determine the decreased voltage pressure by the switch compared to the output delivered within the converter (Vo). Still; it leads to a higher current pressure in comparison to the traditional quadratic boost because it needs to supply current flowing through capacitors Ca and Cd.

The voltage variations across the diode terminals of the HQBC are represented in (11). Based on those equations, it may be expected that the potential variations across diode terminals are reduced compared to the power delivered (Vo). In HQBC converter potential variations across the terminals of the diodes are represented by (12).
