This paper presents a new non-isolated high-gain Buck-Boost Converter (BBC) that uses a switched- inductor (SL) voltage multiplier. This type of DC-DC converter can be very useful in renewable energy applications, especially PV, where the output DC voltage is stepped up to a higher voltage. The output voltage of the proposed switched-inductor BBC (SLBBC) is around 15 times the input voltage with positive polarity when a 0.75 duty cycle of the power switches is used. This is achieved without the use of a transformer or common-core coupled inductors, so the topology is simple to construct. This high output voltage is achieved by using the SL voltage multiplier, which consists of three diodes and two inductors. There are two power switches that operate synchronously, which is an advantage of the design. However, it is discovered that the voltage gain in the step-down mode of the proposed converter is less than that of the other converters. The proposed converter is analyzed in the Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). The operating principles and steady-state analysis are presented in detail. MATLAB/Simulink was used to prove the effectiveness of the proposed SLBBC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
