In the class of the boost converters, the conventional DC–DC boost converters are in common practice but their limited boost capabilities at higher duty ratios are one of the concerns. The isolated and non-isolated step-up DC–DC converters are one of the remedies of the above issue. The presence of switched inductor and switched capacitors in the circuit of non-isolated configuration can provide considerable step-up in voltage at the output, and also facilitate lower voltage stress on components. In this paper, work has been done to propose three non-isolated high-voltage gain DC–DC boost converter topologies. Along with the high voltage gain, the topologies also have lesser voltage stress across the active power switches and diodes used in topologies. The proposed topologies are suitable for low dc input levels like renewable sources, microgrid and grid-connected applications. A Matlab/Simulink 2017a environment is utilized to derive, design and simulate the proposed topologies for a 100-W load operation. The basic topology is also realized in hardware as a prototype circuit with 100-W resistive load, operated at 50[Formula: see text]kHz switching frequency.

High step-up dc-dc converter is an essential part in several renewable energy systems. In this paper, a new topology of step-up dc-dc converter based on interleaved structure is proposed. The proposed converter uses three energy storing capacitors to achieve a high voltage gain. Besides the high voltage gain feature, the proposed converter also reduces the voltage stress across the semiconductor switches. This helps in using low rating switching devices which can reduce the overall size and cost of the converter. The operating principle of the proposed converter is discussed in detail and its principle waveforms are analyzed. An experiment is carried out on a 20 V input, 130 V output, and 21 W power prototype of the proposed converter in the laboratory to verify the performance of the proposed converter. An efficiency of 91.3% is achieved at the rated load.

High-voltage gain conversion is necessary for several applications, especially for low voltage renewable source applications. In order to achieve a high-voltage gain, the presented paper proposes a class of transformerless DC-DC converters based on three switched-capacitor networks. The proposed converters have the following characteristics: reduced voltage stress on the capacitors and power devices; obtained high voltage gain with small duty cycle; and reduced conduction losses in the power switches. To verify the operation principle of the proposed converters, the detailed analysis in different conditions of the proposed converters and a comparison considering existing topologies are also discussed in the paper. Moreover, the parameter selection and controller design for the converters are determined. Finally, to reconfirm the theoretical analysis, both the simulation and experimental results taken from a 400 W prototype operating at 60 kHz are given.

In this paper, two types of high step-up coupled inductor inverters based on qSBIs (quasi- switched boost inverters) are proposed. By applying the coupled inductor to the qSBIs, the voltage gain of the proposed inverter is regulated by turn ratio and duty ratio. Thus, a high voltage gain can be achieved without the circuits operating at the extreme duty cycle by choosing a suitable turn ratio of the coupled inductor. In addition, the proposed circuits have the characteristics of continuous input current and low voltage stress across the passive components. A boost unit can be added to the proposed inverters for further improvement of the voltage gain. In this paper, the working principle, steady state analysis, and the comparisons of the proposed inverter with other impedance-source inverters are described. A 200 W prototype was created and the experimental results confirm the correctness of the analysis in this paper.
