Two of the main challenges for electric vehicle (EV) adoption include limited range and long
recharge times. Ultrafast charging can help to mitigate both these concerns. However, for …

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 …

In a hybrid or electric vehicle powertrain, a boost dc-dc converter enables reduction of the
size of the electric machine and optimization of the battery system. Design of the powertrain …

This paper presents a three-phase multilevel quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) topology
operating in normal and fault-tolerant operation mode. This structure is composed by two …

Impedance-source networks are an increasingly popular solution in power converter
applications, especially in single-stage buck-boost power conversion to avoid additional …

This paper presents a direct model predictive current control (MPC) strategy for quasi-Z-
source inverters (qZSIs). A discrete-time model is derived that accurately captures all …

A hybrid pulsewidth modulated single-phase quasi-Z-source grid-tie photovoltaic (PV)
power system is proposed. The hybrid pulse-width modulation (HPWM) combines the pulse …

This paper presents an inverter topology named the multi-source inverter that aims to
connect several independent DC sources to the same AC output using a single stage of …

An ultracapacitor-battery hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for an electric vehicle (EV)
based on a bidirectional quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) is proposed in this paper. The …

This study compares a three‐phase three‐level voltage source inverter with an intermediate
dc–dc boost converter and a quasi‐Z‐source inverter in terms of passive elements values …
