This study presents an interleaved high step‐up DC–DC converter based on three‐winding high‐frequency coupled inductor and voltage multiplier cell (VMC) techniques. The primary and secondary windings of each coupled inductor are inserted in the same phase and the third winding is inserted in the other phase. The VMC in each phase consists of two diodes, two capacitors, the secondary winding of the same phase coupled inductor and the third winding of the other phase coupled inductor. The voltage gain is increased and the output voltage is clamped across the capacitors of the VMCs. Then, the voltage across the power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is decreased. The leakage inductance of the coupled inductors controls the output diode falling rate, which alleviates reverse recovery problems. The power MOSFETs are turned‐on under zero current switching that helps to conversion efficiency improvement. Three modes of operation named as continuous conduction mode, discontinuous conduction mode and boundary conduction mode are investigated for the proposed converter. The carried mathematical analysis and satisfying operation of the proposed converter are verified via experimental results of an 870 W 60 V‐input to 590 V‐output laboratory prototype with 95.2% conversion efficiency.
