description Abstract This paper introduces an optimized DC–DC converter that employs a modified switched inductor-capacitor technique to achieve ultra-high voltage gain for renewable energy systems. The development is based on adding one cell of modified switched inductor (MSL1) with series diodes interleaved with the main switch in the proposed DC–DC converter. The (MSL1) with capacitor operates in resonant mode to reduce current stress across the main switch when the charge in capacitor becomes zero. This approach also reduces voltage stress across the main switch, all inductors, and diodes. Furthermore, modified switched inductors (MSL2) with an auxiliary switch and a coupled capacitor are incorporated to provide double boosting voltage and to achieve high voltage gain. Additionally, a main and auxiliary switch are integrated with modified switched capacitors (MSC) to provide ultra-high voltage gain and to reduce voltage stress across auxiliary switch. Moreover, the proposed converter exhibits a continuous input current with zero pulsating, even at very low duty cycles. The advantages of the proposed converter are high efficiency, low voltage stress, and low values of inductors and capacitors when utilizing a high switching frequency. A mathematical model for the proposed converter is developed for both continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode. In addition, the PCB design for the proposed converter is presented, and experimental tests are conducted to verify the simulation and laboratory results. The proposed converter aims to boost the voltage from 20 to 40 V to a variable output voltage between 200 and 400 V, delivering 400 watts of power with an efficiency of 96.2%.
