TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a switched-boost dc-dc converter for high stepup voltage conversion applications, such as renewable energy power generation, uninterruptible power supply, and automobile high-intensity discharge headlamps.

TL;DR: The development of power electronics in the past century and the current state-of-the-art power electronics converters are briefly reviewed, before giving an insight into the deficiencies of the conventional current-source and voltage-source converters and, then, proposing a design methodology for impedance source converters aimed to replace the traditional tedious, manual and experience dependent design methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, two boost converters with three active Z-networks are designed and two novel Z-Networks are used to improve the performance of the boost converter.

TL;DR: A new model of a power grid involving the active and reactive power loads is proposed and then used to analyze the cascading behavior of power grids, which is also used to explain the reason of the blackout happening in India.

TL;DR: In this paper, an impedance network dc-dc boost converter with continuous conduction modes is proposed. But, it is not shown how to determine its various parameters and simulations and a 250-W prototype is conducted to verify the converter's effectiveness.
