This article presents a new circuit topology of a high-voltage step-up Double Dual
boost DC-DC converter for photovoltaic power systems. The converter boosts the low-
output voltage of the solar panel to required voltage for the load. The proposed circuit has
various advantages compared to the conventional boost converters, namely a higher boost
rate with low duty cycle, lower voltage stress on components, and higher efficiency. The
equations of a dual-boost converter are analyzed, highlighting the advantages of the new
DC/DC converter circuit topology. The operation principle is explained using the operating
intervals equivalent circuits and operation waveforms. Then, mathematical and theoretical
analyses of different conduction modes of the converter are presented. Gain and thus
efficiency of the proposed converter are calculated using MATLAB. Calculations are used to
compare the efficiency of the proposed topology with others available in the literature
regarding the benefits of decreasing cost and complexity. A photovoltaic system simulation
model is developed using MATLAB to validate the proposed converter. The proposed high
voltage gain Double Dual Boost converter has been and tested to verify the principle of
operation
