Buck, Boost, and Buck–Boost Converters Analysis: A Review
Keywords:
Boost converter, Buck converter, Buck–Boost converter, Cuk converter, Single-Ended Primary Inductor (SEPIC) converterAbstract
The Direct Voltage (DC) and current levels are altered using a power electronic circuit called a converter. Converters have a wide range of uses, from consumer electronics and telecommunications to industrial and medical fields. The flexible ability to generate an AC signal from a DC voltage, DC from AC, and DC from DC is made possible by the use of converters. This study looks at the basic operation of the buck, boost, and buck–boost converters as well as the two topological variants of the buck-boost, the SEPIC and Cuk converters. Converters have been designed and simulated using Matlab/Simulink. Simulation findings demonstrated that all three types of converters are effective and efficient, although the SEPIC converter is better suited for increasing or decreasing the direct voltage to the required limits.
