This study proposes a non‐isolated quadratic boost converter (QBC) that features a low‐output‐voltage ripple with respect to traditional QBCs. This advantage is in contrast with other topologies that require a higher amount of stored energy by capacitors to achieve the same output‐voltage ripple specification. This benefit permits to design a compact converter, since the size of capacitors is proportional to their energy storage rating. Moreover, the proposed transformerless topology is suitable for applications that require high‐voltage gains as in the case of renewable energy applications. The main properties of the converter are corroborated as well as its advantages by providing mathematical models, analytical waveforms and experiments.
