Design and analysis of PV fed high-voltage gain DC-DC converter using PI and NN controllers by Madisa V.G., Varaprasad

“…When the converter switch comes under active state two capacitors are discharged in series, similarly when the converter switch under inactive state those two capacitors are charged in parallel through the coupled inductor (CI) energy so, to get a high voltage at the converter output side. To reuse the leakage-inductor (LI) energy of the CI with the help of a passive clamp circuit for reducing the voltage stress across the switch, similarly switch has less resistance so conduction losses also decreased. …”
