The suggested inverter has a CG connection which eliminates ground leakage currents. Additionally, the suggested topology necessitates fewer conducting devices, thereby reducing conduction losses. The voltage across every capacitor is automatically balanced within each fundamental cycle. The proposed topology has been evaluated based on parameters such as component count, total harmonic distortion, cost, and efficiency. The proposed configuration switching sequence is governed by employing the level-shifted pulse width modulation technique.

The voltage vector selection table based on the principle of using adjacent vectors has been designed and this reduces the number of iterations and thus the computational burden. A threshold is used in the adjacent vector-based MPC to coordinate the use of the single and multi-vector MPCs considering a balance between the control accuracy and computational burden. In addition, to enhance the robustness of MPC to parameter changes, an extended state observer for active disturbance rejection control has been used to derive the predictive model, and an adjacent vector-based MPC using extended state observer is studied.

The output characteristics of an inductor–capacitor–capacitor (LCC)–LCC compensation circuit have been explored, and it is found that the secondary-side compensated capacitors have a greater impact on the output power, which can be used to improve power regulation ability accompanied by coupling varying. Eight optimization compensated parameters of the reconfigurable topology are obtained from the Pareto front to achieve the required CC and CV charging outputs. By switching the compensated capacitors, the selected parameters can make the current and voltage fluctuation less than 9.3% and 7.9%, respectively, during the coupling charging range from 0.3 to 0.22.
