TL;DR: This paper proposes the modification of a boost converter operating with a three-state commutation cell that is already well suited for high current stress in the input due to the current sharing between the active switches, and adds an additional winding to the autotransformer to provide not only the required high gain but also to significantly reduce the voltage stress across theactive switches.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new family of dc-dc converters based on the three-state switching cell and voltage multiplier cells is introduced, which can be applied in uninterruptible power supplies, fuel cell systems, and is also adequate to operate as a high-gain boost stage with cascaded inverters in renewable energy systems.

TL;DR: This work introduces a dc-dc boost converter based on the three-state switching cell and voltage multiplier cells that 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.

TL;DR: The principle of operation and experimental results for a 1-kW prototype are presented to validate the theoretical analysis and demonstrate the converter performance.

TL;DR: An important feature of this non-isolated boost converter is the lower blocking voltage across the controlled switches compared to similar circuits, which allows the utilization of MOSFETs switches with lower conduction resistances RDS(on).
