ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on developing a new family of impedance source inverters (ZSIs) that would realize extended boosting capability. The new topology would operate with the same number of active switches. Many researchers have worked in many directions to develop ZSIs to achieve different objectives. Extensive simulation studies are performed on the open-loop configuration of all proposed topologies in Matlab/Simulink® using the modulation method proposed. The steady-state equations can be derived for the diode-assisted extended boost discontinuous current. Then it is possible to prove that this converter also has the same boosting factor as that of the continuous current topology. Extensive simulation studies are performed on the open-loop configuration of all proposed topologies in Matlab/Simulink® using the modulation method proposed. The basic topology of ZSI was originally proposed by Peng. This is a single-stage buck–boost topology due to the presence of the x-shaped impedance network.
