Chamundeeswari and 2Dr. R.Seyezhai Associate Professor, Department of EEE, St.Joseph’s College of Engineering, Chennai-119, India Associate Professor, Department of EEE, SSN College of Engineering, Chennai-603110, India ARTICLE INFO Article history: Received 3 September 2014 Received in revised form 30 October 2014 Accepted 4 November 2014 Keywords: DC-DC converter, Negative output super lift Luo converter, relift converter, PI controller. ABSTRACT Superlift converter is a type of DC-DC converter in which the output voltage increases in geometric progression. This paper proposes the design and analysis of relift negative output superlift luo converter (NOSLC) with the implementation of an analog PI controller. The focus is on the negative output as the negative voltage finds its role in telecom industries, automobile sectors, rig lines etc. Since the relift converter has a very high output voltage compared to the basic self lift, a PI controller is implemented using Ziegler-Nichol’s tuning for load regulation. Simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical design. Hardware circuit of the proposed converter is developed to validate the simulation results. The high gain obtained using the proposed converter is suitable for photovoltaic applications. © 2014 AENSI Publisher All rights reserved. To Cite This Article: V. Chamundeeswari and Dr. R. Seyezhai, Design, Control and Implementation of High Gain Negative Output Relift DC-DC Converter for Photovoltaic Applications. Adv. in Nat. Appl. Sci., 8(21): 30-36, 2014 INTRODUCTION Voltage lift technique has been successfully employed in design of DC-DC converters. However, the output voltage increases in arithmetic progression. Super lift technique is an advanced one which implements the output voltage increasing in geometric progression. It effectively enhances the voltage transfer gain. The first lift circuit is an elementary circuit which performs the voltage conversion from positive source voltage to negative load voltage. It is the basic circuit of negative converter in which the output voltage increases in geometric progression. The next lift circuit is relift wherein the output voltage increases in multiples of input voltage. This paper investigates the potentials of relift converter with suitable control strategy for load regulation. Section II deals with the Relift circuit and its mode of operation followed by the simulation results of open loop relift DC-DC converter. Section III depicts the design of a PI controller for relift circuit with its simulation results and finally section IV portrays the hardware implementation of relift circuit followed by conclusion in section V. Opertation of negative output relift converter: The NOSLC is a new series of DC-DC converters possessing high-voltage transfer gain, high power Density, high efficiency, reduced ripple voltage and current (Fanglin luo 2003). The relift circuit performs the voltage lift in a higher way compared to the self lift by the additional capacitors added (Y.Jiao, F.L.Luo, M.Zhu 2011). The circuit diagram of Relift circuit is shown in the fig 1.The inductor L2 act as a linking inductor and the capacitors C3 and C4 perform the characteristic function to lift the voltage by twice that of source voltage. The currents through the capacitors are exponential functions. Modes of operation: During switch on ie.mode 1 as shown in the fig.2, the voltage across the capacitor C1 is charged to Vin.The voltage across the capacitor C3 is charged to (V1+Vin).The current through the inductor L2 increases with slope V1+Vin/L2 during switch on period kT and decreases with slope – (V0-2V1 – Vin)/L2 during switch off (1-k) T i.e. mode2 as shown in the fig.3. The input current I in is equal to (iL1 +iC1 +iL2 +iC3) during switch on and zero during switch off. Corresponding Author: V.

To produce a steady state output for the load changes, a controller is designed which modify the error signal and produce a proper control action. Here the analog PI controller is taken for implementation. The proportional gain constant (Kp) and the integral constant (Ti) are tuned using Ziegler Nicholas tuning.

(C.F.Hsu,I.F 2009, K.S.Tang,Kim fung man 2001, K.Ramash kumar, Dr.S.Jeevanathan 2010, Mahdavi et al.,1997). The fig 9 depicts the closed loop control of Relift converter using PI controller which brings a steady state output for load changes. (Y. B.Shtessel et al.,2002, K. Ramash Kumar, S. Jeevananthan 2009, Pawan Gupta, Amit patra 2003, J.Matas, et al., 2000). Fig 10 portrays the output voltage of Relift converter as -87V for an input voltage of 12V with an approximated Kp and Ti values and and further increases to a high boosted output of -186V with the real values of Kp and Ti as shown in fig.11.fig.12 shows the pulse produced from the PI controller circuit which is given to the switch. Fig. 11: Input voltage and Output voltage of Relift Dc-Dc converter (without approximating Kp and Ti (values) Fig.12: Gate pulse to MOSFET. Hardware implementation: The Hardware implementation of re-lift DC-DC converter is depicted in fig 13 which shows the converter circuit with the controller. The input voltage is provided using a rectified DC which is depicted as 8V.The output voltage is highly boosted to -186.2V which is shown in the below figure14. To generate the pulse of 100 KHz for the MOSFET switch of relift converter, PIC 16F877A is used. The relift converter uses two inductors of 10mH and four capacitors of 2 µF each.

Seyezhai,2014 Advances in Natural and Applied Sciences, 8(21) Special 2014, Pages: 30-36 Fig. 14: Input and output voltage of Relift Dc-Dc converter. From the simulation results of fig 11, it has been shown that the output voltage is boosted to a very high value of -186V and the same has been depicted in the hardware implementation as -186.2V in fig 14. Thus the progressive rise in multiples of input voltage is highly shown with the results. Comparison of output voltage values of lift circuits: Type of Lift circuit Self lift Relift Input voltage(V) 12 12 Output voltage(V) -36 -186V The above table II depicts that the relift produces a high boost voltage compared to the primary self-lift circuit. The self lift circuit produces an output of -36V for an input voltage of 12V whereas the output voltage produced by relift circuit is -186V. Conclusion: Thus the paper depicts the design and analysis of Relift circuit and its topology thereby proving the value of high gain rise. It also has portrayed the implementation of PI controller for the relift type which helps in maintaining the steady state output for load changes. The proposed relift converter is a promising high gain topology that is suited for photovoltaic applications. REFERENCES Arulselvi, G. Uma and M.
