To obtain a high step-up gain with high efficiency in distributed power sources application, such as photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cells, a passive absorption circuit with voltage step-up character is inserted in the interleaved flyback-forward converter for leakage energy recycle and voltage gain extension. By applying the high step-up passive-clamp circuit, the voltage spike on the metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor is clamped and the energy stored inside the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor can be recycled to get high-output voltage. Moreover, it offers another design freedom to obtain higher voltage-conversion ratio. The operational principle and characteristics of the improved flyback-forward converter are presented, and verified experimentally with a 500 W prototype converter. The proposed high step-up passive-clamp can be widely used in high step-up DC–DC converter applications, and a new high step-up topology is deduced to illustrate the theoretical analysis.
