A new high step-up converter is projected for a photovoltaic system. An asymmetrical interleaved high step-up converter achieves high step up gain through a voltage multiplier module. The voltage multiplier module is organised by a conventional boost converter and coupled inductors. A conventional boost converter is incorporated to achieve a considerably higher voltage conversion ratio. This co...

Photovoltaic and wind are renewable energy resources that widely used and grow rapidly in fulfilling electricity demand. Powers from both technologies depend on sunlight intensity and wind speed. For small scale power generation, DC voltage from both technologies is low and requires step-up converter to raise DC voltage ratio before converted into AC voltage. To optimize this system, step-up co...

Boost converters are needed in many applications which require the output voltage to be higher than the input voltage. Recently, boost type converters have been applied for industrial applications, and hence it has become an interesting topic of research. Many researchers proposed different impedance source converters with their unique advantages as having a high voltage gain in a small range o...

We introduce Quantile Boost (QBoost) algorithms which predict conditional quantiles of the interested response for regression and binary classification. Quantile Boost Regression (QBR) performs gradient descent in functional space to minimize the objective function used by quantile regression (QReg). In the classification scenario, the class label is defined via a hidden variable, and the quant...
