Abstract

A high gain DC-DC converter is the crucial part in renewable energy systems (RES) and in electric vehicular systems. The reliability of those high-gain converters needs to be assessed for the long-term operation of renewable energy systems. This article presents the reliability analysis of non-isolated high gain interleaved DC-DC converter. The analysis primarily relies on calculating the mean time between failures (MTBF). Based on military handbook (MIL-HDBK-217) criteria, the reliability calculation is performed. Stress factors and predicted failure rate for each component of presented converter is evaluated and tabulated. Reliability evaluation is performed for 1.5 kW hardware prototype. Based on reliability evaluation results, a reliable converter with better operating life time has been introduced.
