Single-phase inverters are widely employed in renewable energy applications. However, their inherent 2ω-ripple power can substantially affect system performance, leading to fluctuations the maximum points (MPP) of photovoltaic (PV) systems and shortening lifespans fuel cell (FC) systems. To alleviate input ripple, a three-leg quasi-Z-source inverter (QZSI) its associated control strategy propos...

Vehicle to Grid technology allows the batteries of electric vehicles to operate as energy storage elements for renewable energy power systems. The Z-Source inverter is a new and attractive topology for the power electronics interface. In this paper, the equivalent DC-link voltage ripple of a single-phase Z-Source inverter for Vehicle to Grid applications is analyzed in this paper before derivin...
