Abstract

The demand for efficient DC-DC converters capable of providing significant voltage step-up with minimal losses is critical in numerous applications, such as portable devices, electric automobiles and energy-efficient systems. Among the various boost converter topologies, the Boost Converter is widely used for moderate voltage gains but becomes less efficient at high voltage step-ups due to the challenges of handling large duty cycles. In contrast, the Quadratic Boost Converter offers a superior solution for high voltage gains, providing better efficiency by utilizing a cascaded two-stage boosting mechanism, which allows for lower duty cycles and reduced switching losses. This study provides a comparison of the Boost Converter with the QB Converter with different duty ratios, different solar irradiances and emphasizing the latter’s advantages regarding efficiency, gain in voltage and suitability for high-performance applications. Through simulations, and efficiency comparison, we demonstrate that the Quadratic Boost Converter not only achieves higher voltage gains but also operates more efficiently at elevated step-up ratios, making it more preferable in systems where efficiency is critical. This analysis establishes the Quadratic Boost Converter as a more favorable choice for modern power conversion systems demanding high voltage gain with optimal efficiency.
