Abstract

A power conversion system is provided. The power conversion system includes a power conversion circuit and N clamping circuits. The power conversion circuit includes an input port, an output port, N switching power conversion units and N−1 storage device. The switching power conversion unit includes a first switch and a second switch. N is an integer larger than 1. Two ends of the storage device have a first node and a second node respectively. The clamping circuit includes an absorbing capacitor and an absorbing diode and has a first terminal, a second terminal and a third terminal. The first and second terminals are electrically connected to two ends of the corresponding second switch respectively. The absorbing capacitor and the absorbing diode are serially coupled between the first and second terminals for absorbing a peak voltage. The third terminal is electrically connected to the corresponding first node or the input port.
