This paper presents a boost DC-DC converter topology with non - isolated high gain and output midpoint, to boost the voltage obtained from solar photovoltaic panels. The three-level boost converter is coupled to the output port of the single-switch quadratic boost converter to derive the proposed converter topology. The voltage gain of the proposed converter is greater than that of the classical boost converter. The voltage stress on the switches of the proposed converter is equal to half of the converter output voltage. Static analysis, operating modes, experimental waveforms in continuous current conduction and discontinuous current conduction modes are shown. A 520 W prototype converter was implemented in the laboratory and its results are presented.

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.

In this paper, a new transformerless buck–boost converter is introduced. The proposed converter voltage gain is higher that of the conventional buck–boost converter. In the presented converter, only one power switch is used. The switch voltage stress is low, therefore, the low on-state resistance of the power switch can be selected to decrease losses of the switch. The presented converter topology is simple, hence the control of the converter will be simple. The mathematical analyses and principle of the proposed converter are explained. The validity of the proposed converter is confirmed by the experimental results.

A novel high gain voltage lift technique based transformer free non isolated boost converter is proposed with single switch operating at constant frequency in this paper. This performance of this converter is very good and high efficient compared to the conventional boost converters. The high gain is obtained by applying voltage lift cell to the quadratic boost converter. The simple structure, easy controlling and lower voltage stress. The operating principle with theoretical analysis and simulation results of proposed converter for various loads at 10 kHz frequency are discussed in this paper to compare the performance of this novel boost converter.
