To improve the voltage gain of step-up converters, the cascaded technique is considered as a possible solution in this paper. By considering the concept of cascading two Z-source networks in a conventional boost converter, the proposed topology takes the advantages of both impedance source and cascaded converters. By applying some modifications, the proposed converter provides high voltage gain while the voltage stress of the switch and diodes is still low. Moreover, the low input current ripple of the converter makes it absolutely appropriate for photovoltaic applications in expanding the lifetime of PV panels. After analyzing the operation principles of the proposed converter, we present the simulation and experimental results of a 100 W prototype to verify the proposed converter performance.

A soft-switching boost half-bridge converter with high voltage gain and low input current ripple is proposed in this paper. In the proposed converter, a coupled inductor is used at the boost converter stage to reduce the input current ripple. The half-bridge converter stage provides soft-switching operation and high voltage gain. Also, the reverse-recovery problem of output diodes is significantly alleviated by utilizing the leakage inductance of the transformer. Due to the soft-switching operation of all switching devices, the switching loss is significantly reduced and the high efficiency is obtained. The feasibility and performance of the proposed converter were verified on an experimental prototype

A novel single-phase single-stage voltage multiplier cell-based quasi-switched boost inverter (VMC-qSBI) is proposed in this paper. By adding the voltage multiplier cell to the qSBI, the proposed VMC-qSBI has the following merits; a decreased voltage stress on an additional switch, a high voltage gain, a continuous input current, shoot through immunity, and a high modulation index. A new pulse-width modulation (PWM) control strategy is presented for the proposed inverter to reduce the input current ripple. To improve the voltage gain of the proposed inverter, an extension is addressed by adding the VMCs. The operating principle, steady-state analysis, and impedance parameter design guideline of the proposed inverter are presented. A comparison between the proposed inverter and other impedance source-based high-voltage gain inverters is shown. Simulation and experimental results are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis.

A coupled-inductor DC-DC converter with a high voltage gain is proposed in this paper to match the voltage of a fuel cell stack to a DC link bus. The proposed converter can minimize current ripples and can also achieve a high voltage gain by adjusting the duty cycle d and the turns ratio n of a coupled inductor. A passive lossless clamping circuit that is composed of one capacitor and one diode is employed, and this suppresses voltage spikes across the power device resulting from system leakage inductance. The operating principles and the characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed and discussed. A 400-W experimental prototype was developed, and it had a wide voltage gain range (4–13.33) and a maximum efficiency of 95.12%.
