This paper presents the design and analysis of a three-level hybrid boost converter based on a single-phase threelevel T-type inverter. The proposed converter can provide high energy conversion efficiency and high voltage gain capability with reduced component count. The pulse-width-modulation signals of the proposed converter are generated by comparing two duty cycles and two triangular carrier signals. The proposed converter consists of four power switches, four diodes, an inductor, and two capacitors. Detailed converter operations at each switching state with the corresponding voltage and current waveforms of each component are discussed. The functionality and performance of the proposed converter are verified through simulation and experimental results.
