The converter is composed of basic quasi-Z-source cell and a voltage-lift cell which contains one capacitor, two inductors and diodes. Contrasted with the traditional quasi-Z-source DC/DC converter, a relatively high voltage conversion and the reduction of the input current ripple can be achieved with the presented...
Traditional Z-source inverter can boost or buck voltage for its unique impedance network, but also has its own drawbacks, such as input current is not continuous, boost capacity is limited, the capacitor voltage stress is large and etc. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional Z-source inverter, a series of Z-source inverters are proposed. In this paper, the topology of three kinds...

Simultaneously, other auxiliary switches are operated at zero-current-switching...
Single-phase inverters suffer from double-frequency ripple of the input power. For mitigation, an input capacitor is applied but the fluctuation range of power across it is limited according the desired fluctuation in the dc-link voltage. To realize power decoupling without changes in the main circuit and in the control strategy of it, an additional independent power decoupling circuit can be applied,...

The boost inverter is an attractive solution for photovoltaic (PV) microinverters since it is a single stage architecture. Indeed, in comparison, most of the microinverters topologies consist of two-stage structures, a DC-DC converter for voltage elevation and an inverter for grid connection, resulting in a lower efficiency. The boost inverter consists of two DC-DC boost converters connected in differential...
