“…In [22], Trans-ZSI can obtain high boost factor, when the turns ratio of the transformer windings is over 1. In [23], Î-ZSI can obtain high boost factor by varying the turns ratio of the transformer within the narrow range, (1,2]. In [24], it proposed an improved Z-source inverter, which can reduce the capacitor voltage stress and suppress the inrush Despite the aforementioned merits, the aforementioned Z-source inverter topologies also show the following drawbacks: 1) capacitor voltage stress is increased with the increase of shoot-through duty ratio, thus high-voltage or large capacity capacitors should be used, which may result in large volume, high cost, and reducing the life span of system; 2) inductor current stress is large, and this characteristic may also lead to large volume and high cost; 3) it regulates boost factor only by adjusting the shootthrough duty ratio, and boost factor is very small with short shoot-through zero state.…”
