A half-bridge-based impedance-source inverter with two T-shaped coupled inductors is proposed in this article. Unlike the conventional half-bridge structure, topology can generate a zero-voltage level at its output stage. First, configuration and modulation method are described, which will analyze topology's various operational modes. Second, boost factor determined, way to design necessary pas...

The Z-source inverter (ZSI) with battery operation can balance the stochastic fluctuations of photovoltaic (PV) power injected to the grid/load, but the existing topology has a power limitation due to the wide range of discontinuous conduction mode during battery discharge. This paper proposes a new topology of the energy stored ZSI to overcome this disadvantage. Two strategies are proposed wit...

MODULARIZED MULTILEVEL AND Z-SOURCE POWER CONVERTER AS RENEWABLE ENERGY INTERFACE FOR VEHICLE AND GRID-CONNECTED APPLICATIONS By Dong Cao Due the energy crisis and increased oil price, renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, or thermoelectric generation module, are used more and more widely for vehicle and grid-connected applications. However, the output of these rene...

The paper presents a comparative study of three topologies of recently developed voltage-fed z-source inverter (ZSI) such as simple ZSI, quasi-ZSI and trans-ZSI. Different control techniques, proposed earlier for simple ZSI such as simple boost control, maximum boost control and constant boost control, have been applied here for all type of ZSI topologies. The detailed comparative evaluation of...

The analysis and design of single phase inverter for photovoltaic (PV) applications based on interleaved flyback converter topology operating in discontinuous current mode with Extended switched Inductor Quasi Z-Source (ESL-QZS) network. In today’s PV inverter technology, the simple and the least-cost advantage of the flyback topology is promoted only at very low power. Therefore, the primary a...
