The Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) has been reported suitable for residential PV system because of the capability of voltage boost and inversion in a single stage. Recently, four new topologies, the quasi-Z-Source Inverters (QZSI), have been derived from the original ZSI.
Thin-film modules are particularly popular in BIPV – Building Integrated PV. They are often preferred due to their uniform appearance, and additionally these installations are far more frequently affected by shading. In particular, vertical surfaces are generally affected by shading to a greater extent, e.g. by neighboring buildings and canopies.
Abstract— This paper represents the Quasi-Z-Source inverter for photovoltaic energy conversion system. Quasi-Z-Source Inverter (QZSI) is an enhancement to Z-Source Inverter (ZSI). The QZSI inherits all the advantages of the ZSI, which can realize buck/boost, inversion and power conditioning in a single stage with improved reliability.
