The traditional Z-source network circuit topology is a quasi-Z-source Boost circuit. The traditional Z-source impedance network boost converter has low voltage gain, few control strategies, and high component voltage stress, resulting in low energy efficiency conversion. At the same time, considering the parasitic equivalent series impedance in the actual circuit, the actual gain of the Boost circuit does not always increase with the increase of the duty cycle. Therefore, its boost capability is very limited and is not suitable for high voltage gain DC power conversion occasions. The above problems need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0031] Specific implementation method 1. Figure 1 The tapped inductor quasi-Z-source Boost converter described in this embodiment includes a DC voltage source V in , diodes D0 to D7, capacitors C0 to C1, inductors L1 to L2, a coupled inductor and a power switch S; wherein the capacitor C0 serves as an output capacitor, and the voltage across it serves as the output voltage V0 of the Boost converter;
