A simple and efficient implemantation of interleaved boost converter

Abstract

Recently, DC-DC boost converters are usually required in many applications which has low output voltage, such as renewable energy sources. The interleaved boost converters consists of several identical boost converters connected in parallel and controlled by the interleaved method which has the same switching frequency and phase shift. The advantages of interleaved boost converters include increased efficiency, reduced size and improved reliability. This paper presents, simple design and implementation of a two phase interleaved boost converter.
