Abstract

This paper aims to present an analytical study about the D-converter, including qualitative and quantitative analysis, considering the operation in continuous conduction mode, which will culminate into a design method proposal for this converter. Recently recommended for applications in photovoltaic power generation systems, due to its low input current ripple levels, the D-converter associated with photovoltaic modules ends up reducing the global losses of the photovoltaic conversion system. The D-converter is not a novel topology. However, it was not possible to identify in the references a detailed description about this converter, even though it is only briefly mentioned among many other converters.
