Performance Analysis and Comparison ofConventional and Interleaved DC/DC BoostConverter Using MULTISIM

Abstract

Step up conversion is widely used in many applications such as Electric vehicles, Photovoltaic (PV) system, Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and fuel cell system. This paper shows simulation of conventionaland interleaveddc-dc boost converter using NI MULTISIM software. Theseconvertersare tested by varying the input voltage with constant duty cycle in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). The performance parameters of both the converters are compared. Control of these converters is done by switching signals having fixed switching frequency.Using interleaved converter we can reduced ripple at output voltageand output current.
