Impedance networks have been already investigated in various literature with the main goals of increasing the attainable voltage gain and reducing the components number. Recently, coupled inductors found popularity because ...

In this paper, a novel direct AC-AC converter based on the coupled inductor Z-source networks is proposed that offers a wide range of buck-boost operation. Two Z-source networks, called the coupled switched inductor (CSL) and the modified switched...

This paper proposes two coupled-inductorsbased Z-source networks, called the modified series and tapped switched-coupled-inductors quasi-Z-source networks -mSSCL-qZSN and mTSCL-qZSN-. These networks offer high voltage gains with less...

This paper presents a wide range gain buck-boost type PFC rectifier based on the conventional buck-boost DC-DC converter. This novel rectifier is fed by a buck-type Z-source network at the DC side with the help of an inductor smoothing the AC side...
