In this paper, a hybrid DC-DC boost converter with high voltage gain and a
wide duty cycle range was proposed. After detailed analysis of the proposed converter,
it was designed. Thanks to the active soft switching applied to the proposed
converter, the losses due to hard switching were reduced. While the main switch
of proposed converter was turning on, the main switch voltage was nearly zero
during current transition and in the opposite case, the main switch current was
nearly zero during voltage transition. Thus, the power losses were reduced for
both cases when the main switch turned on and off. The simulation results for
MOSFET and IGBT based proposed converter with active soft switching were
obtained for variable loads.
