A new multi-input non-isolated DC/DC converter with high-voltage transfer gain is proposed in this study. The presented converter consists of the conventional buck-boost and boost converters. All the stages except the last stage are buck-boost converters. The last stage is the conventional boost converter. The proposed multi-input high-voltage gain converter benefits from various advantages such as reduced semiconductor current stress, no limitation for switching duty cycle and wide control range of different input powers. The presented converter can even operate when one or some power input fail to provide energy to the load. The steady-state operation and dynamic modelling of the suggested converter are analysed thoroughly. Experimental results are also provided to verify the feasibility of the presented converter.
