A high gain quasi Z-source based full-bridge isolated DC-DC converter with extendable structure for grid-tied/standalone PV system

A multi-input single-output converter that is based on the impedance network and the standard isolated converters is presented. The topology is named quasi Z-source full-bridge isolated converter (qZSFBIC). The proposed topology helps to integrate various renewable power generation systems with a common three-phase grid-connected inverter. It was also capable of providing isolation between the input and output circuits in addition to the boost function. The integration of multiple energy sources is achieved using fewer components than conventional converters. As a result, it achieves greater conversion efficiency and has improved circuit characteristics. It offers a larger voltage control range as compared to the conventional ZSC and enhances the input-output voltage transformation ratio. To determine whether or not the suggested converter is technically feasible, the circuit architecture, operating principle, control mechanism, and simulation results are presented. An improved proportional resonant-second order general integrator (IPR-SOGI) has been utilized to provide a gating signal for the voltage source inverter. The 1.5 kW, 400 V, 50 Hz model is designed to authenticate the proposed scheme with qZSFBIC. The results showed that the proposed converter offered double the time of boosting than the conventional ZSC converter and the conversion efficiency is around 89%.
