Abstract: In sustainable energy applications, boost converters are preferred owing to the low voltage profile of sustainable energy sources. Because of their light weight, high reliability, and small size, boost converters play a vital role in biomedical portable devices. In this paper, boost converter performance is examined using nonidealities of semiconductor devices. The impact of such nonidealities on the different parameters is investigated. To compensate for the damage incurred by nonidealities, expressions for output voltage and duty cycle are derived. The expression for voltage gain has been modified as a side effect of these nonidealities. The design equation for the inductor is modified based on these nonidealities. Further, nonidealities based expressions for the average value and ripple of current flowing through the inductor have also been established. Ultimately, these theoretical findings are validated with the results of simulation in MATLAB and hardware setup. In the hardware, the desired output voltage of 24 V is obtained from a 12 V input source by enhancing the duty cycle from 0.5 to 0.5174.
