“…Developments in power supply systems have allowed DC-DC converters to be incorporated in modern applications, such as renewable energy (photovoltaic and wind power), electric vehicles, and smart grids, among others. In these applications, there are numerous requirements that the converters should satisfy, such as having a wide conversion ratio, as mentioned in [1][2][3][4][5], and numerous references within them. Several approaches to providing converters with a wide conversion ratio have been proposed in the literature, including the cascade connection, which is a simpler converter scheme that has a high conversion ratio.…”
