Final Year Project
Project Title
High Efficiency Isolated DC-DC Boost Converter for Renewable Energy Applications
Description
Energy production and distribution is becoming a central area of research and manufacturing, especially as our energy needs sour to an all-time high with an ever-accelerating technology-based lifestyle. The current renewable energy delivery systems rely on power converting systems whose efficiency lies within the range of 60 to 70%. Our capstone design project is based on the design and delivery of a DC-DC Boost Converter that can achieve an efficiency of over 95%. This is achieved through an efficient design of high-frequency components, i.e. transformer and inductor. One distinguishing feature of this device is the usage of an interleaved winding technique in the high-frequency transformer. The converter is also equipped with a voltagedoubler circuit, which further simplifies the high-frequency component design used in renewable energy systems. This is a joint project with Muhammad Talha.
