The inverter switches are turned on and off under zero voltage switching condition and all auxiliary circuit switches and diodes are also soft switched. The control utilizes PWM and the auxiliary switch does not require an isola...

The mass usage of traditional fossil energy has adversely affected the environment on a global scale, such as environmental pollution and greenhouse effect. Meanwhile, there has been a growing demand for energy with the development of society. Since traditional fossil energy is not renewable, it is faced with the problem of energy shortage. Solar energy and hydrogen energy are promising, and ph...

Abstract This paper presents a comparison between PV system using Z source inverters and Quazi Z source inverters. The Z-source inverter employs a unique LC network to couple the inverter power circuit to the diode front end and can be shoot through to boost the DC link voltage.

A soft-switched inverter is derived from the passively clamped quasi-resonant link circuit with three different clamps: coupled inductor, diode clamp and coupled inductor and capacitor. The proposed soft-switching inverter is formed from the traditional pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverter by simply augmenting with auxiliary resonant circuits, and the soft switching is achieved through applying...
