N2  - High-gain DCâ??DC converters are being drastically utilized in renewable energy generation systems, such as photovoltaic (PV) and fuel cells (FC). Renewable energy sources (RES) persist with low-level output voltage; therefore, high-gain DCâ??DC converters are essentially integrated with RES for satisfactory performance. This paper proposes a non-isolated high-gain non-inverting interleaved DCâ??DC boost converter. The proposed DCâ??DC converter topology is comprised of two inductors and these are charging and discharging in series and parallel circuit configurations. The voltage multiplier technique is being utilized to produce high gain. The proposed topology is designed to operate in three modes of operation. Three switches are operated utilizing two distinct duty ratios to avoid the extreme duty ratio while having high voltage gain. Owing to its intelligent design, the voltage stress on the switches is also significantly reduced where the maximum stress is only 50 of the output voltage. The proposed converterâ??s steady-state analysis with two distinct duty ratios is thoroughly explored. Furthermore, a 160 W 20/400 V prototype is developed for performance analysis and validation. The converter topology can generate output voltage with a very high voltage gain of 20, which is verified by the prototype. Moreover, a high efficiency of 93.2 is attained by the proposed converterâ??s hardware prototype. © 2023 by the authors.
