Abstract

Power converters play a crucial role in renewable energy systems. Most well-known power conversion topologies are voltage mode, not current mode. Current mode converters are more appropriate for renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic systems since solar panels are typical current sources. The vast usage of battery as energy storage is also a current sink for constant current mode charging. Utilizing current mode converters should be more straightforward and judicious. In this study, a new topology for the tapped-inductor power conversion circuit family is introduced. The proposed topology has been investigated thoroughly based on theories, simulations and experiments. The boost version is examined as an example to downstate the performance. A detailed comparison with the conventional boost current converter is conducted in this paper.
