Design of Boost Converter

Objective:
 Information about Boost converter.
 Need of Boost converter in practically.
 Design Boost converter on simulink.
Theory:
A boost converter (step-up converter) is a DC-to-DC power converter that steps up voltage
(while stepping down current) from its input (supply) to its output (load). It is a class
of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) containing at least two semiconductors (a diode and
a transistor) and at least one energy storage element: a capacitor, inductor, or the two in
combination.

Operation:
The key principle that drives the boost converter is the tendency of an inductor to resist changes
in current by creating and destroying a magnetic field. In a boost converter, the output voltage is
always higher than the input voltage. A schematic of a boost power stage is shown in Figure 1.
(a) When the switch is closed, current flows through the inductor in clockwise direction and the
inductor stores some energy by generating a magnetic field. Polarity of the left side of the
inductor is positive.
(b) When the switch is opened, current will be reduced as the impedance is higher. The magnetic
field previously created will be destroyed to maintain the current towards the load. Thus the
polarity will be reversed (means left side of inductor will be negative now). As a result, two
sources will be in series causing a higher voltage to charge the capacitor through the diode D.
If the switch is cycled fast enough, the inductor will not discharge fully in between charging
stages, and the load will always see a voltage greater than that of the input source alone when the
switch is opened. Also while the switch is opened, the capacitor in parallel with the load is
charged to this combined voltage. When the switch is then closed and the right hand side is
shorted out from the left hand side, the capacitor is therefore able to provide the voltage and
energy to the load. During this time, the blocking diode prevents the capacitor from discharging
through the switch. The switch must of course be opened again fast enough to prevent the
capacitor from discharging too much.
Design the Boost converter on simulink calculation is following:
Parameters:
Different parameters are use to Design converter on simulink.

PV Array:
For getting input voltage we use pv module .Voltage produced by pv array is give to next circuit
which is reduced the voltage in buck converter.Some values is set in pv array which is given in
setting portion.

Diode:
Diode use in buck converter in reverse biase condition.As show in circuit diagram below.When
power switch is on then diode is work as open circuit,because cathode cannot a negative
supply.When power switch is off then cathode of diode is get negative supply and diode is
forward biase.

Inductor:
Inductor is also use in the circuit of buck converter.When power switch is on then Inductor is
charge , When power switch is off then inductor is discharge . Basically inductor is use in circuit
as LC filter.

Capacitor:
Capacitor is use in circuit as LC filter.Capacitor is use in circuit paralall to load resistor.Load
voltage is equal Capacitor voltage because both are paralall.Capacitor value is chose according to
own requirement.

Power Switch:
Performing switching operation we use power switch.As power switch we use IGBT,POWER
MOSFET,SCR etc.Pluse is give as input to power switch using pluse width modulation
generator.

Current Measurement:
This is measuring device which is use to measure the current in the circuit.Current Measurement
is use series in the circuit.

Voltage Measurement:
This is measuring device which is use to measure the voltage in circuit.Voltage Measurement is
use paralall in the circuit.
Setting:

1. For pv array we set following value [ ir = 4, T=45 , paralall and series string = 4 ]
2. In diode we set following value [ Resistance Ron=0.001 , Forward Voltage = 0.8 ]
3. Inductance value set in circuit which is given (L= 7.64*10^-4).
4. First Capacitor value set in circuit which is given (C= 0.01).
5. Second Capacitor value set in circuit which is given (C= 0.611*10^-6).
6. Initially Duty cycle is set ( D=0.9166 ).
7. Switching frequency is set ( Fs=5000 ).
8. Simple time is set in power gui ( T=1e-5 ).

Circuit Diagram:
Output Waveform:
 First Wave form for output voltage.
 Second Wave form for output power.
 Third Wave form for output current.

Following show the circuit output in the form of voltage ,current and power. In first wave form
show voltage is increase with time,at least one stage voltage is getting constant form. For current
we see third wave form , which is show the current is constant over a long time,therefore power
is also constant which show in second wave form,because power is product of voltage and
current.

Conclusion:

In this lab our aim is Design Boost converter , any given input to increase the input and produced
output.We are sucessfully achieve this task. We are also calculate Duty cycle theortically which
is (0.9166) and also check Duty cycle Practically which is (0.9719), and achieve this task
sucessfully. All value of inducator ,capacitor are calculate theortically and put in circuit check
response on output. I am fully under stand this experiment , and also change different parameter
of circuit and check effect on output.
