This paper proposes a high-boost power converter for renewable energy systems. The suggested converter exhibits a simplified structure by replacing a diode in the switched-inductor cell with an active power switch to reduce the total voltage stress on the semiconductor device, get cost reduction, and improve efficiency. Additionally, the common ground feature inherent in the introduced topology expands its potential for renewable energy applications. Finally, the simulation verifications are performed using PSIM software to confirm the effectiveness of the suggested approach, and a detailed comparison study between the basic switched-inductor converter and the suggested converter is also presented.
