A new high step-up interleaved converter is proposed in this paper. This new high step-up converter utilizes the interleaved boost converter to be in series connection with the voltage-double module. The secondary sides of the coupled inductors are in interleaved series connection and shared by two voltage-double modules to accomplish the interleaved energy storage. Then, the input voltage, coupled-inductors, and multiplier capacitors are in series connection with the output to achieve the purpose of high voltage gain. The proposed circuit can be operated at a lower duty cycle to achieve high voltage gain by adjusting the turn ratio of the coupled inductors. The proposed circuit has less elements and the voltage stress of the switches and diodes can be decreased to reduce the cost. The conduction loss can be reduced and the efficiency can be increased when the switch with lower conduction resistance is applied. Finally, a prototype circuit of a 400 W high step-up converter with input voltage of 24 V and output voltage of 400 V is realized. Through simulation and experiments, the validity and property of the proposed converter can be verified.
