This paper introduces an optimized DC-DC converter that employs a modified switched inductor-capacitor technique to achieve ultra-high voltage gain for renewable energy systems. The development is based on adding one cell of modified switched inductor (MSL1) with series diodes interleaved with the main switch in the proposed DC-DC converter. The (MSL1) with capacitor operates in resonant mode to reduce current stress across the main switch when the charge in capacitor becomes zero.

The batteries are large and relatively heavy, adding to the volume of wearable sensors, especially when implanted. In addition, the batteries have limited capacity, requiring periodic charging, as well as a limited life, requiring potentially invasive replacement.
