An output from a DC-to-DC converter that can be more or less than its input is called a Single-Ended Main Inductor Converter (SeMLC). Nevertheless, there is more switching stress in this dual-level SEMIC, which raises switching losses. This rise in switching loss causes the power converter's efficiency to drop. This research suggests a Triple stage SeMIC with lower switching losses to get over this drawback. Using a lower rated switch, Triple level SEMIC increases power efficiency. There is a description of a control method that balances the voltage of the capacitor to avoid damaging the power switch. The suggested converter also lessens the ripple in inductor current in the output inductor. Triple level SeMIC uses a hybrid wind-solar energy system as a source. The benefits of the suggested converter are emphasized by discussing the simulation results of both dual- and Triple-level SeMIC.
