MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541132812 A) filed by Mepco Schlenk Engineering College, Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'a modified transformer-less dc-dc converter with high gain at low duty cycle suitable for dc microgrid applications.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. T. Jaya Christa; D R. J. G Nanavadivel; and E. Therese Reena Smiline.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure introduces a transformerless DC-DC converter with high voltage boosting capability applicable for DC microgrid. It is constituted of switched inductor cell, switched capacitor cell and a capacitor-diode based voltage multiplier network with the intention to achieve a high voltage conversion ratio by utilizing only a single power semiconductor switch. The converter is featured with high voltage gain at a low duty cycle, reduced switching stresses and conduction losses as it employs a single switch. Furthermore, converter achieves a wide range of voltage gain from 3.75-15 (theoretical gain) for a duty cycle range of 0.1-0.4. And it is worth highlighting that the above mentioned features make it ideal for use in DC microgrid applications."
