Abstract – In this paper, a novel structure for a high gain inverter is adopting a DC-DC converter with wide range of
single-switch buck-boost converter with continuous input and capability. Hence, DC power can be received from RESs and
output power suitable for renewable energies connected to the transferred into its output all at maximum energy extraction

converter has continuous currents by the help of inductive filters
implemented with high voltage gain ratios, using transformer-

to the implementation of two inductive filters in the input and
the output of the converter, continuous power can be received
from the input DC source and transferred to the output which
is also continuous. Only single power is utilized in this
topology which made the structure easy to be controlled. The
voltage stress across all of the semiconductors is low. This
structure can be treated as a proper choice for renewable
energy connected to the distribution network. The given
simulation results validate the equations derived from the
