Abstract : In this paper, a new single switch high step-up dc–dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed. The proposed topology is developed by combining boost and single-ended primary inductor converter with diode–capacitor circuit to reduce the stress across the semiconductor devices. The proposed converter produces low switching voltage and hence it improves its efficiency. The operating principle and the steady-state performance analysis are discussed. The performance of the converter is validated by developing a prototype circuit with input voltage of 30 V, output voltage of 300 V, and output power rating of 250 W. The theoretical analysis and experimental results conclude the proposed converter that is suitable for high-voltage applications.
