This paper presents the analysis of steady state behavior of a single switch non-isolated Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) topology for achieving high DC voltage gain using diode-capacitor voltage multiplier. A voltage boosting module consisting of inductor and capacitor in addition with two diodes is introduced in the conventional SEPIC configuration in order to derive the DC-DC conversion technology proposed in this work. The voltage gain of the converter is extended using a diode-capacitor voltage multiplier cell. The converter suggested in this work has a single controlled switch. Hence, the conduction losses and the control complexity of the switch are very much reduced. The open loop configuration of the proposed non-isolated converter is described under continuous inductor current mode. The voltage boosting capability of the presented converter is compared with that of the existing modified SEPIC structure. The presented positive output converter topology has low switch voltage-current stress compared to the existing modified SEPIC topology given in the literature. The inductor and capacitor components of the suggested converter are so chosen that the DC output voltage and current waveforms show very low percentage of ripples. A DC voltage level of 24 V is given as input to the proposed converter. The DC voltage obtained across the load terminals is around 370 V which is achievable with low duty ratio (= 0.7) of the active switch. The voltage conversion ratio is very much influenced by the variation of the duty cycle of the power switch. In this work, the converter topology is presented and its various modes of operation are explained with equivalent circuits. The PSIM software platform is effectively and efficiently utilized to validate the performance of the converter. The obtained results convey that the proposed DC-DC conversion technology with extended voltage gain has the capability to maintain the steady-state output voltage and current profiles with almost negligible amount of ripples owing to the use of suitably designed non-dissipative elements in LC filter.
