This paper introduces a new soft-switched high gain converter topology with Input Current Smoother (ICS) capability to mitigate Normalized Peak Inverse Voltage (NPIV). By employing soft switching techniques, the converter achieves significant reductions in switching losses and improved overall efficiency, making it ideal for high-frequency applications. The proposed converter enhances voltage gain while minimizing voltage stress on power semiconductors, overcoming the limitations of conventional step-up converters. The paper provides a detailed description of the converter's operation principles, configuration, and steady-state analysis. Performance comparisons with existing topologies demonstrate superior voltage gain, minimized voltage stress on semiconductors, negligible input current ripple, and remarkable efficiency. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed converter by using PSCAD software.

Abstract
This paper introduces a new soft-switched high gain converter topology with Input Current Smoother (ICS) capability to mitigate Normalized Peak Inverse Voltage (NPIV). By employing soft switching techniques, the converter achieves significant reductions in switching losses and improved overall efficiency, making it ideal for high-frequency applications. The proposed converter enhances voltage gain while minimizing voltage stress on power semiconductors, overcoming the limitations of conventional step-up converters. The paper provides a detailed description of the converter's operation principles, configuration, and steady-state analysis. Performance comparisons with existing topologies demonstrate superior voltage gain, minimized voltage stress on semiconductors, negligible input current ripple, and remarkable efficiency. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed converter by using PSCAD software.Pubblicazioni consigliate
