A SINGLE-PHASE SINGLE-STAGE SWITCHED-BOOST

INVERTER WITH FOUR SWITCHES

INTRODUCTION:

The traditional voltage source inverters (VSIs) are a buck

dc–ac power conversion, where the dc source voltage is higher
than the peak ac output voltage. In addition, both power
switches in a leg cannot be turned ON at the same time because
it causes a short circuit dc voltage source. Furthermore, an
additional boost dc–dc converter is inserted in front of the
inverter bridge to obtain a high ac output voltage when a low
input voltage is used. The result in the additional power
converter with two-stage dc–dc–ac power conversion is high
cost and low efficiency. To solve the boost voltage problem, a
singlestage boost dc–ac inverter was proposed .The conventional
single-phase single-stage boost inverter. It consists of two
inductors, two capacitors, four switches, and a passive load (RLf
). The boost inverter utilizes two bidirectional dc–dc boost
converters, and the load is differentially connected between the
output terminals of the converters. In the boost inverter, both
individual boost dc–dc converters are controlled by two 180°
phase-shifted dc-biased sinusoidal references to generate a
sinusoidal voltage at the output. Because the single-phase boost
inverter introduces a low-frequency (LF) ripple current at the
source, a current feedback control method.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
To overcome both the limitation of the output voltage and the
shoot-through (or open-circuit) problem, the Z-source inverter
(ZSI) was proposed for single-stage power conversion. Quasi-
Z-source inverters (qZSIs) are proposed to reduce the voltage
stress on the capacitor and improve the input current profile.
where a qZS network with two inductors and two capacitors is
connected two legs of H-bridge inverter. In the qZSI, a
shootthrough state is used to boost voltage without any damages
in the power circuit. In one switching period, the number of the
shoot-through states is two. Therefore, the operating frequency
of the inductors is twice the switching frequency. Because the
source voltage is directly connected to the inductor, the input
current of the qZSI is continuous.

DRAWBACKS:

The used Z-network with two inductors and two capacitors

in the classic ZS/qZSIs increases the size, weight, and cost of
the power inverter.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
the proposed single-phase single-stage SBI with four switches.
The switch S0 in the Qsbi is replaced by the second H-bridge leg
with two switches S3 and S4 . As a result, the proposed inverter
is reduced one active switch compared to the qSBI. A switched-
boost network is a combination of one inductor (L1 ), one
capacitor (C1 ), two diodes (Da,Db ), and four switches. A
capacitor Cd filter is used to remove the dc offset component at
the output. The output of the inverter is connected to a passive
load (RLf ).When Da is fully forward-based, a combination of
L1 − C1 − Db − S1 − S2 plays a role as a boost converter.
When Db is fully forward based, a combination of L1 − C1 −
Da − S3 − S4 plays a role as another boost converter. As a
result, two boost converters are integrated to one in the proposed
inverter.

ADVANTAGES:
 The proposed inverter has a high reliability because it
immunizes both shoot-through and open-circuit
phenomenon.
 In addition, the ac output voltage of the proposed inverter is
higher or lower than the dc input voltage.
APPLICATIONS:
 Photo voltaic system
 Grid tied system
