 ABSTRACT
A high static gain step-up dc–dc converters based on the modified
SEPIC Converter is presented in this paper. The proposed topologies
present low switch voltage and high efficiency for low input voltage
and high output voltage applications. The configurations with
magnetic coupling is presented and analyzed. The magnetic coupling
allows the increase of the static gain maintaining a reduced switch
voltage. The experimental prototypes were developed with an input
voltage equal to 15 V and an output power equal to 100 W. The
efficiency at nominal power obtained with the prototype without
magnetic coupling was equal to 91.9% with an output voltage of
150V and with magnetic coupling operating with an output voltage
equal to 300 V, presents efficiency equal to 92.2%.

 MOTIVATION
 Electricity demand is the major concern in the world
today.
 To meet the demand the number of natural sources comes
under electricity production.
 Among those sources solar energy is considered as it is
most readily available and free source of energy since
prehistoric times.
 It is estimated that solar energy equivalent to over 15,000
times the world's annual commercial energy consumption
reaches the earth every year.
 Single ended primary inductor with solar energy is
considered for the improvement of power generation.
DEPARTMENT OF EEE AGNI COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
 In SEPIC converter the voltage at its output to be greater
than, less than or equal to that its input, whereas in high
static gain SEPIC converter the output voltage is higher
than its input voltage.

 The magnetic coupling allows the increase of static gain

maintaining a reduced switch voltage

up transformerless topologies for photovoltaicAC-Module application,” IEEE Trans.
Power Electron., vol. 28, no. 6, pp. 2649–2663, Jun. 2013.)
 This paper presents a comprehensive review of step-up
single-phase non-isolated inverters suitable for ac-module
applications. In order to compare the most feasible solutions
of the reviewed topologies, a benchmark is set.

photovoltaic grid-connected applications,” IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron., vol.
58, no. 4, pp. 1239–1250, Apr. 2011.)
 This paper is concerned with how to achieve high-step-up,
low-cost, and high-efficiency dc/dc conversion which is the
major consideration due to the low PV output voltage with the
parallel-connected structure. The limitations of the
conventional boost converters in these applications are
analyzed.

 LITERATURE REVIEW
(D. Zhou, A. Pietkiewicz, and S. Cuk, “A Three-Switch high-voltage converter,” IEEE
Trans. Power Electron., vol. 14, no. 1, pp. 177–183, Jan.)
 A novel single active switch two-diodes high-voltage converter is
presented. This converter can operate into a capacitor-diode voltage
multiplier, which offers simpler structure and control, higher
efficiency, reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI), and size
and weight savings compared with traditional switched-mode
regulated voltage multipliers.

switchPWM converters with high step-up conversion ratio,” IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. I,
Reg Papers, vol. 55, no. 4, pp. 1159–1171,)
 A new family of a single-switch three-diode dc-dc pulse
width-modulated (PWM) converters operating at constant
frequency and constant duty cycle is presented in this paper.
The proposed converters are different from the conventional
dc-dc step-up converters, and they posses higher voltage gain
with small output voltage ripples.

 HYBRID PSOGSA ALGORITHM
 A new hybrid population-based algorithm (PSOGSA) is

proposed with the combination of Particle Swarm

Optimization (PSO) and Gravitational Search Algorithm

(GSA).

 The main idea is to integrate the ability of exploitation in

PSO with the ability of exploration in GSA to synthesize
both algorithms’ strength.

DEPARTMENT OF EEE AGNI COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

 HYBRID PSOGSA ALGORITHM
 In PSOGSA, at first, all agents are randomly initialized.
Each agent is considered as a candidate solution. After
initialization, Gravitational force, gravitational constant,
and resultant forces among agents are calculated. After
that, the accelerations of particles are defined as,

 In each iteration, the best solution so far should be

updated. After calculating the accelerations and with
updating the best solution so far, the velocities of all
agents can be calculated. Finally, the positions of agents
are defined as,

DEPARTMENT OF EEE AGNI COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

 HYBRID PSOGSA ALGORITHM
 The process of updating velocities and positions will be
stopped by meeting an end criterion.
 The steps of PSOGSA are represented in figure above.
 The agents near good solutions try to attract the other
agents which are exploring the search space.
 When all agents are near a good solution, they move very
slowly. In this case, the gBest help them to exploit the
global best.
 PSOGSA use a memory (gBest) to save the best solution
has found so far, so it is accessible anytime.
 Each agent can observe the best solution so far and tend
toward it. With adjusting weighting factors , the abilities of
global search and local search can be balanced.

 CONCLUSION
 A new topologies of nonisolated high static gain converters are
presented.
 The structure with magnetic coupling can operate with static gain
higher than 20 maintaining low the switch voltage.
 The efficiency of the proposed converter with magnetic coupling is
equal to 92.2% operating with input voltage equal to 15V, output
voltage equal 300V, and output power equal 100W.
 The commutation losses of the proposed converter with magnetic
coupling are reduced due to the presence of the transformer leakage
inductance and the secondary voltage multiplier that operates as a
non dissipative clamping circuit to the output diode voltage
