The converter has non-pulsed input currents and high voltage gain owing to the input inductors and a switched-capacitor (SC) network. In a two-input case, there are only two low-side switches controlled independently for adjusting individual input power levels and another low-side switch for operating the SC network. Steady-state analysis and dynamic modelling of the converter are provided. Design procedures regarding the hardware and decoupled control system dealing with the interactions of the control loops are given. After a benchmark study, a laboratory prototype rated at 200-W validates the analysis and tests the control system when subjected to step changes. © 2023 Elsevier GmbHen10.1016/j.aeue.2023.154597info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDecoupled controlHigh step-upMulti-input converterRenewable energySwitched-capacitorBoost converterDecoupled controlDevelopment and controlsHigh step-upsLow side switchesMulti-input converterMultiinputRenewable energiesRenewable energy applicationsSwitched capacitorSwitched-capacitor networksControl systemsArticle1632-s2.0-85149437482WOS:001029175800001N/AQ2
