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...

In this paper, a generalized buck-boost Z-H converter based on switched inductors is proposed. This structure consists of a set of series connected switched-inductor cells. The voltage conversion ratio of the proposed structure is adjusted by changing the number of cells and the duty cycle.

In this paper, a new embedded Z-H (EZ-H) buck-boost converter is proposed. In this topology, two identical dc voltage sources are embedded in a LC network in a series connection with the inductors. The proposed converter eliminates the shoot-through (ST) switching state and there is no need for a front-end diode. Other advantages of the proposed topology are having capability of buck and boost ...

This paper presents a Hybrid Two Quasi Z-source(HTQZS) DC-DC converter for photovoltaic applications. These are mainly employed to full fill the demand of the voltage boost in photovoltaic applications from the lower value voltage. The traditional z source networks have some limitations in voltage boosting, so the modified z source means the different combination of the LC components is combine...

Abstract— This paper proposes a new type of converter called Single Phase Z-source Matrix Converter (SPZMC). The SPZMC is an ac-to-ac converter device.

Distributed generation is an emerging concept in the electricity sector, which represents good alternatives for electricity supply instead of the traditional centralized power generation concept. Among different distributed generation schemes, fuel cell is expected play a big part due to its inherent advantages. The power density of the quasi-Z-source-based single-phase isolated DC/DC converter...

Impedance converters have been developed as a new type of converter besides the two other existing converters: voltage-source and current source converters.

This paper proposes a Z-source converter based flyback converter with a new active clamp control method. With this control methodology, the energy in the leakage inductance can be fully recycled. The absorbed leakage energy transferred to the output and input side will achieve zero voltage switching for the main switch. Thus, switching loss can be reduced.
