Abstract
The design, simulation and implementation of modified diode assisted extended boost q-ZSI (MDAEB q-ZSI) for photovoltaic application are proposed in this paper. It is the most efficient topology that provides a single stage conversion for PV systems by providing high input voltage gain, reduced number of components count, increased voltage boost property, reduced voltage ratings, reduced voltage stress across the switches and simplified control strategies. Its unique capability in single stage conversion with improved voltage gain is used for voltage buck and boost function. The operating modes and the steady state theoretical analysis of voltage boost, control methods and a system design guide for the proposed topology are investigated in this paper. A simulation model of the PV system based on MDAEB q-ZSI has been built in MATLAB/ SIMULINK. Performance parameters such as Total harmonic distortion (THD), voltage gain, voltage stress and boost factor are computed and compared with the conventional quasi z-source inverter. The prototype model for MDAEB q-ZSI is developed and the results are validated.
