This paper proposes a nonisolated high voltage gain DC-DC converter. The active–passive inductor cells (APICs) makes the converter topology expandable, and it also helps in providing a high gain quality at lower duty cycles. The proposed converter is suitable for high gain applications mainly necessitating microgrid as well as integration of renewable energy sources into the existing grid infrastructure. The merits of the converter can be attributed to the ability to achieve high gain and low current stress and switching losses on power electronic switches. The proposed converter is analyzed in both continuous and discontinuous modes of operation, the efficiency is calculated and simulation results substantiate the operation of the converter.
