In this paper, a new structure for buck-boost Z-source converter based on Z-H topology is proposed. The proposed converter consists of two LC networks similar to the conventional Z-source and Z-H converters. One of the characteristics of the proposed structure is that, without any changing in its’ power circuit, it can be used in different conversions such as dc/dc, dc/ac and ac/ac. This unique...

An impedance-source (or impedance-fed) power converter (abbreviated as Z-source) and its control method for implementing dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion are presented in this paper. This impedance converter employs a unique impedance network (or circuit) to couple the converter main circuit to the power source, hence provides a unique feature that cannot be obtained ...
