A Dual-Input–Dual-Output Z-Source Inverter

Abstract

This paper presents a new z-source inverter with two AC outputs and two DC inputs. This inverter is based on the z-source inverter and nine-switch inverter. The presented inverter can control amplitude, frequency, and phase of both AC outputs and also control current of both DC inputs. Input dc voltages are boosted to the required level. Also, both outputs continue their operation, even if one of the input voltages is zero. Performance of the proposed inverter is verified by simulation and experimental results.
