The proposed converter is performed without any extra power switch by a voltage pre-amplifier unit between the input inductor and the power switch and is derived with a simple structure. The designed converter provides a voltage gain by 38 times for the operation of 90 % of the duty cycle. This condition shows that the proposed converter has more efficient compared to the conventional boost converters. Besides, a higher amount of DC gain is possible by adding a cascade blocks connection of switched-capacitor (SC) in the converter's output. The operational principles are evaluated to justify the utility of converter for residential PV systems in the study. Also, a 200 W powered prototype converter is implemented by applying a commercial PV panel in the laboratory. The experimental results confirm both the mathematical and simulation results.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessResidential PV-systemSingle switched power boost converterSwitched capacitor (SC) structureArticle10.5755/j01.eie.25.6.248252564047WOS:000502273100007Q4Q3
