The increasing interest in renewable energy sources has brought attention to large voltage-gain dc–dc converters; among the different available solutions perform a conversion, this article presents an overview of non-isolated converter topologies that utilize switched-capacitor circuits, i.e., diode-capacitors voltage multipliers. review includes combinations traditional power stage with diode-...

Objective(s)  Garlic (Allium sativum) is known as a potent spice and a medicine with broad therapeutic properties ranging from antibacterial to anticancer, and anticoagulant. One of the major purified garlic protein components is the 47 kDa protein. In this study, the effect of 47 kDa protein extracted from aged garlic (AGE) was evaluated on mouse dendritic cell (DC) maturation in vitro. Mate...

Cascaded H-bridge multilevel power electronic converters generally require several dc sources. An alternative option is to replace all the separate dc sources feeding the H-bridge cells with capacitors, leaving only one H-bridge cell with a real dc voltage source. This will yield a cost-effective converter. However, the required capacitor voltage balancing is challenging. In this paper, using t...

This paper proposes a novel multi-function isolated three-port bidirectional DC–DC converter for stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system. The proposed topology was composed of unidirectional step-up and step-up/step-down that only required one set complementary PWM signals to control any operation mode used multiple operating stages improve the practicability converter. In addition, had function i...
