DC–DC Non-isolated Boost Converter Based on the Five-State Switching Cell and Voltage Multiplier Cells

This paper introduces a dc–dc boost converter based on the five-state switching cell and voltage multiplier cells. A brief literature review is presented to demonstrate some advantages and inherent limitations of several topologies that are typically used in voltage step up applications. The behavior of the converter is analyzed. The converter can be applied to uninterruptible power supplies and is also adequate to operate as a high gain boost stage cascaded with inverters in renewable energy systems. Furthermore, it can be applied to systems that demand dc voltage step up such as electrical fork-lift, renewable energy conversion systems, and many other applications.
