High gain single-stage boosting inverter

This paper introduces a high gain Single-Stage Boosting Inverter (SSBI). The proposed topology can be used for alternative energy generation and particularly in photovoltaic applications. As compared to the traditional two stage approach, SSBI has a simple topology, low decoupling capacitor and low component count. SSBI employs One Cycle Controller to generate its AC output and attain DC-AC power decoupling. The paper presents theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results obtained from a 200W prototype. The experimental results reveal that the proposed single stage inverter can achieve high voltage boost, good quality of AC output waveform, and good conversion efficiency.
