Impedance-source networks cover the entire spectrum of electric power conversion
applications (dc-dc, dc-ac, ac-dc, ac-ac) controlled and modulated by different modulation …

The current and emerging investigations on Z-source/quasi-Z-source inverters (ZSIs/qZSIs)
are presented. The ZSI/qZSI fulfills buck/boost capability in single-stage topology and …

The increase in linking photovoltaic (PV) power plants to utility grids are due to the world
expansion in PV systems and its advantages of low running cost, renewable, etc. Although …

This paper proposes a direct dual-loop peak dc-link voltage control strategy, with outer
voltage loop and inner current loop, of the Z-source inverter (ZSI). The peak dc-link voltage …

A discrete-time average model-based predictive control (DTA-MPC) is proposed for a quasi-
Z-source inverter (qZSI). As a single-stage inverter topology, the qZSI regulates the dc-link …

The quasi‐switched boost inverter (qSBI) has the advantage over the quasi‐Z‐source
inverter (qZSI) in reducing one capacitor and one inductor. The qSBI is applied to the …

This paper proposes two control strategies for the bidirectional Z-source inverters (BZSI)
supplied by batteries for electric vehicle applications. The first control strategy utilizes the …

Z and quasi-Z-source inverters (Z/qZSI) have a nonlinear impedance network on their dc
side, which allows the system to behave as a buck–boost converter in their outputs. The …

This paper proposes a series of new control methods for single-phase Z-source inverters. A
detailed description of the concept and principle of each method is first presented, then a …

Converters with impedance source networks combine their one-stage energy conversion
with the function as buck and boost converters. Due to this fact, they are very attractive to the …
