A New Four-Port Dual-Input Dual-Output Quadratic DC-DC Boost Converter (FPQBC) with High Gain

The new four-port quadratic DC-DC boost converter with high gain (FPQBC) has the advantages of continuous input current at both inputs and high output voltage gain due to its quadratic nature with low component count. The proposed converter has a wide range of operation modes, i.e., Dual-input Dual-output (DIDO) and Dual-input Single-output (DISO). All of these converter operating modes are analyzed under steady-state conditions to understand the working of the proposed converter. Numerous simulations were carried out in the simulator to verify the advantages, as mentioned earlier, of the proposed converter. To verify the simulation results, the hardware prototype experimentation is under investigation.
