Abstract

Power electronics stand as the cornerstone of our electrified world, and versatile DC-DC converters are a key component of this technology. In this comprehensive analysis, we investigate deeply the realm of DC-DC converters, examining their pivotal role in modern power systems. From the evolution of converter topologies to their wide-ranging applications, we explore the advancements that propel this field forward. Whether maintaining continuous power in portable devices or facilitating renewable energy integration, DC-DC converters are the fundamental components. Yet, they face formidable challenges, from complex control strategies to voltage stress management. This study reveals the complex configuration of DC-DC converters, detailing a narrative of adaptability, resilience, and innovation in response to the increasing energy demands of our time.
