Realization of a Photovoltaic Fed Sparse Alternating Current (AC)-Link Inverter
In this paper, a soft-switched alternating current (AC)-link buck-boost inverter with a reduced number of switches, referred to as a sparse AC-link buck-boost inverter, was designed and implemented for a photovoltaic (PV) interface. Important features of the sparse configuration included a lower number of switches, low …
