A New Non-Isolated Single Switch High Step-up DC/DC Converter Based on Inductor Cells

In this paper a high step-up n level DC/DC converter has been proposed with high voltage gain and only one power switch. In this n-level topology, inductors are connected to the input in parallel and in the output they are placed in series path. The voltage gain in this proposed converter is higher than the conventional boost converter and other conventional step-up DC/DC converters. A high duty cycle is not needed to reach high gain and the source's voltage is not necessarily high in this converter. Because of the output voltage level is low in renewable energy power plants, this proposed topology can be used to boost their voltages. This presented converter has been analyzed in different operational modes comprehensively and after that it has been simulated with two different states of inductor cells. All of the simulation results of this proposed converter have been simulated via MATLAB\SIMULINK simulation software.
