Abstract
The developments of impedance source inverters are presented in this chapter, where improvements such as boost ability enhancement and parameter optimization are presented based on which many popular and practical derived topologies from original Z-source inverter are introduced systematically. Section 3.2 introduces the topology improvements with constant boost ratio, which overcome the inherited drawbacks of original Z-source inverters without enhancing boost factors. Section 3.3 presents the family of high boost ratio impedance source inverters which is proposed to enhance the gain based on the previous impedance source inverters. Then a plenty of multilevel and multiplex impedance source inverters are presented to suit for various applications in Sect. 3.4. After that, several novel impedance source inverters with parameter optimization are unfolded in Sect. 3.5.
