Abstract

A novel interleaved non-isolated high-gain topology is presented in this article. This converter reaches its significant gain by combining two voltage multiplier cells (VMCs), a built-in transformer (BIT) with two windings, and coupled inductors (CIs) with two windings. Leakage inductance energy recovery, reduction of input current ripple, flow sharing by interleaved technique, increased flexibility in design by improving the conversion ratio of built-in transformer and coupled inductance, power masts turned on under zero current switching (ZCS), also switched off for Diodes are features of this topology. A voltage of 20V was applied to the simulated topology. As a result, a load output voltage of 533V was achieved, and an output power of 320 watts was generated.
