“…However, the volume and cost of the inverter are relatively high due to the existence of transformers. Some single stage boost inverters are studied in [1]- [20], for example: Z source inverter [4]- [5], double Boost inverter [8]- [9], double Cuk integrated inverter [10]- [11], Buck-Boost integrated inverter [12]- [13] and so on. The typical Z source inverter can achieve the function of the boost by using the controlled direct connection of the upper and lower bridge arm power switches.…”

A novel transformerless boost inverter for standalone photovoltaic generation systems is proposed in this paper. The proposed inverter combines the boost converter with the traditional bridge inverter. The switch S 1 not only realizes the boost function but also participates in inverting process. The inverter has a higher voltage gain and good characteristics when the inductor L 1 is operated in discontinuous mode (DCM) and the nonpolarized capacitor can be chosen as bus capacitor, which makes the volume smaller and the service life of the inverter is increased. The inverter consists of five switches in which only two switches are operated at high frequency state and a monopole sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) strategy is used. Therefore, the modulation strategy of switches is very simple and the switching loss is reduced. The principle of inverter is described in detail and mathematical models are built by small-signal analysis. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified by simulation and experiment.Index Terms-Boost inverter, discontinuous mode (DCM), monopole sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM), nonpolarized capacitor, photovoltaic generation systems, transformerless.

“…Figure 9 illustrates the performance of the projected controller circuit; as can be seen, in different times of a switching period, the controller generates different pulses to switch on and off the power MOSFETs. Figure 10 shows a comparison between this approach and the proposed methods in [1], [20], and [26] for resistive loads. As can be seen, significantly better results are reported in the sinusoidal state.…”

“…For transformerless applications, for obtaining a qualified power factor, several important issues like total harmonic distortion, DC current injection, and output voltage and current regulation should be considered. In order to limit the total harmonic distortion (THD) in output current or voltage signals, various PWM methods are intensively studied in pure sinusoidal inverters [20,21]. For a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique, the voltage gain is determining by calculating the ratio of the fundamental components of the AC side's voltage to the DC voltage of the input side.…”

This paper presents a modified sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) switching method for one-phase and investigated two-phase impedance-source inverter structures. The proposed structure generates pulses for a quasi-Z-source converter and this block produces a unilateral voltage sine wave in the block's output. This signal is applied to the inverter as its input wave. For this purpose, the novel SPWM method is proposed for power switches while being switched complementarily. Two power switches are used in the structure to generate the pure sinusoidal output voltage and to minimize total harmonic distortion (THD), which is an essential parameter in inverter design. The results show that the proposed method generates the pure sinusoidal voltage and current signals for resistive and inductive loads and pure voltage and improved current waves for capacitive loads in comparison with existing techniques, since the THD of the output voltage and current signals is strongly affected by the dynamic loads. This method leads to final cost improvement and reduction of the size of the system with fewer number of components, which are essential parameters for renewable energy resource applications. A mathematical model is validated with the 2017a version of MATLAB/Simulink and 1.51% and 1.33% THD values are reported for low and high power loads, respectively, in the one-phase structure and 0.95% and 0.87% in the two-phase system. Finally, a 120 W prototype has been implemented and tested. A sine-wave with 620 Vac peak to peak amplitude and 50 Hz frequency has been gained in the inverter's output and the quality of the voltage and current waveforms has been evaluated for different two 1.8 k Ω and 600 Ω resistive loads in the one-phase structure. Experimental results confirm all mathematical and simulation results.

The single-phase split-source inverter is an emerging and attractive topology for boost dc-ac power conversion system. Such an inverter features high compactness, however, at the expense of high-frequency commutations across diodes. The corresponding hybrid PWM also confines the voltage harmonics to concentrate around the switching frequency and its multiples. This paper proposes a simplified split-source inverter which is realized by inserting only one power switch into an Hbridge. While generating the ac output, the newly developed PWM strategy ensures the inductor charged with constant duty-cycle. When compared to the existing split-source inverters, it offers the added benefits of reduced switch count, enhanced voltage boosting gain, reduced output filter requirement, and enhanced power efficiency. Comprehensive steady-state analysis is discussed while simulation and experimental results are subsequently presented to prove the validity of the proposed topology and the PWM strategy.Index Terms-Boost dc-ac power conversion, singlestage inverter, split-source inverter, pulse width modulation.
