Four quasi-Z-Source inverters

TLDR
In this paper, theoretical results are shown for several novel inverters, which are similar to the Z-source inverters presented in previous works, but have several advantages, including in some combination; lower component ratings, reduced source stress, reduced component count and simplified control strategies.
Abstract
In this paper, theoretical results are shown for several novel inverters. These inverters are similar to the Z-source inverters presented in previous works, but have several advantages, including in some combination; lower component ratings, reduced source stress, reduced component count and simplified control strategies. Like the Z-source inverter, these inverters are particularly suited for applications which require a large range of gain, such as in motor controllers or renewable energy. Simulation and experimental results are shown for one topology to verify the analysis. Also, a back-to-back inverter system featuring bidirectionality on both inverters, as well as secondary energy storage with only a single additional switch, is shown.
