Modified A-Source Converter Operating at Lower Voltage Stress

The coupled inductor based Z-source converter produces higher voltage gain with lower number of components count. In this paper, a new two winding mutually coupled inductor based Z-source DC-DC converter is proposed to boost the voltage gain. The proposed converter utilizes reduced number of passive...
