Abstract<\/strong><\/h5>\n\u2022 This study presents an improvement on the efficiency of of a proposed multiphase cascaded DC-DC boost converter by employing Discontinuous Conduction Mode
\n(DCM) for its operation.
\n\u2022 The proposed multiphase cascaded DCDC boost converter is characterized by high voltage gain and low input current ripple, this converter consists of two stages and is designed to connect a photovoltaic (PV) system to a DC microgrid bus.
\n\u2022 First, the loss equations for the converter is analyzed, then discontinuous conduction mode is applied to the first stage of the proposed converter.
\n\u2022 Further, comparison with two operation modes, Continuous Conduction Mode
\n(CCM) and Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM), is provided.
\n\u2022 To verify the proposed analysis dan calculation, experiments are conducted by implementing the circuitry in a lab scale prototype.
\n\u2022 The results show that the operation of DCM has demonstrated a substantial reduction in switching losses, leading to a notable increase in efficiency.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/h5>\n\u2022 The needs of high voltage gain low ripple converter for renewable energy application.
\n\u2022 In accordance with the specified needs, the multiphase cascaded DC-DC boost converter emerges as a viable solution due to its capacity to deliver a substantial voltage increase while minimizing input current ripple.
\n\u2022 This topology features a two-stage configuration, a multiphase setup in the first stage, subsequently interconnected in a series or cascaded manner with a boost converter in the second stage, as shown in Fig. 1.
\n\u2022 However, it should be noted that the efficiency of the multiphase cascaded DC-DC boost converter has not reached.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Discussion & Result<\/strong><\/h5>\n\u2022 Simulation depicts the input voltage of 36 V represents the output voltage of a photovoltaic system. The simulation control utilized pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to regulate the switches with specific duty cycles. A duty cycle value of 0.67 for the first stage of the converter. The duty cycle for the second stage was set to 0.75 to achieve high voltage amplification. The switching frequency was set to 20 kHz.
\n\u2022 For the predetermined parameters, an output current of 0.32A operates the converter in boundary mode. At this boundary point, the converter operates at a power of 150W. The shape of the inductor current can be observed in the three operating modes as depicted in Fig. 2.
\n\u2022 It can be observed that efficiency decreases as the converter\u2019s power increases. In other words, in CCM, the efficiency decreases. This is because at higher power levels, the losses in the converter\u2019s components also increase. These losses are proportional to the increase in converter power.
\n\u2022 Additionally, in DCM, soft switching occurs, resulting in a significant reduction in switch losses. This is what leads to a notable increase in efficiency between BCM and DCM, despite being at similar output power levels.
\n\u2022 The loss characteristics of BCM and CCM are similar, hence the similarity in their loss calculations.
\n\u2022 The efficiency trend for different output currents and power values is depicted in Fig. 3.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Experimental Results<\/strong><\/h5>\n\u2022 At a lower output current of 0.285 A, the converter operates in DCM condition. The highest efficiency is achieved in this DCM condition, reaching 92.35% at an output power of 120.7 W.
\n\u2022 On the other hand, in the CCM condition, the efficiency only reaches a peak value of 91.61% at an output power of 131 W, which is close to the boundary mode.
\n\u2022 The lowest tested efficiency occurs at an output current of 0.605 A and an out-put power of 215.5 W, at 90.17% in CCM operation.
\n\u2022 The efficiency trend observed is the highest in DCM, followed by BCM, and the lowest in CCM.
\n\u2022 The experimental results are shown in the graph in Fig. 8.
\n\u2022 In DCM, the losses are dominated by the inductor core.
\n\u2022 In BCM and CCM, the fraction of losses can be said to be similar, with inductor losses dominating the overall losses.

\n\u2022 The operation of DCM has demonstrated a substantial reduction in switching losses, leading to a notable increase in efficiency.<\/p>\n
