Novel single-stage buck-boost inverter with unfolding circuit
PublicationA novel solution of a single-stage buck-boost inverter with unfolding circuit at the output stage is presented. The inverter has a wide range of input voltage regulation, minimum passive components and a very flexible control structure. It can be applied for renewable energy systems where high power density is required. Our simulation results confirmed all theoretical statements

Design and experimental validation of a single-stage PV string inverter with optimal number of interleaved buck-boost cells.
PublicationIncreasing converter power density is a problem of topical interest. This paper discusses an interleaved approach of the efficiency increase in the buck-boost stage of an inverter with unfolding circuit in terms of losses in semiconductors, output voltage ripples and power density. Main trends in the power converter development are reviewed. A losses model was designed and used for the proposed solution to find an optimal number...

Comparative Evaluation of Dual-Purpose Converters Suitable for Application in DC and AC Grids
PublicationThis article presents a comparative evaluation of several topological solutions to the universal power electronics interface for the dc or single-phase ac grids using the same terminals. The idea of a dual-purpose approach lies in the utilization of the same semiconductors in the dc–dc and the dc–ac configuration, resulting in minimal redundancy. Particular focus is on the power density improvement and control. Out of the three...
