Abstract — This paper deals with the question about the most efficient and less energy consumptive type of low-voltage DC-DC converter. Different types of DC-DC converters (Buck, boost, Ćuk, Zeta, Sepic etc.) are analyzed in terms of low voltage implementation. The comparison of energy consumption of different types of converters is given. Different examples of such converter implementation are examined - for example, low voltage DC-DC converters can be used as power converter in photovoltaic system, or, for example, as charging converter for batteries. Different physical models of such implementations are presented - a model with small amount of photovoltaic cells, and a model where DC-DC converter is used as a charging converter for batteries for a power wheelchair, or for example, for battery used to power prosthetic limbs (hands, legs etc.).
