Abstract

This paper offers a thorough investigation of non-isolated high gain DC-DC converters, specifically designed for their applicability in renewable power systems. These converters demonstrate versatility and efficacy in various domains, including renewable energy applications, DC microgrids, and electric vehicle power management. This study explores their characteristics and advantages in depth, shedding light on their potential for addressing the evolving demands of modern energy systems. Renewable energy systems, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, often produce low-magnitude DC voltage outputs. Consequently, the design and exploration of various high-gain DC-DC converter topologies have become a significant focus in contemporary research. This paper is dedicated to a comprehensive study and review of these converters, with the goal of identifying and selecting an optimal converter for diverse practical applications.
