This work proposes a high step-up interleaved dc/dc topology utilizing a VM (voltage multiplier) cell suitable for PV applications. The VM cells D/C (Diode/Cap.) are cascaded among the phases to approach a high voltage gain. Besides, the voltage converting ratio of the presented structure can be improved by extending the VM cells and it also leads to drop in the normalized voltage stress throug...

The output voltage obtained from renewable energy sources is low and needs to be stepped up by and order of 20 for practical usage or grid integration.This emphasizes the need for high gain DC-DC converters.
