It s then converted nto AC usng Full Brdge nverter wth power factor mprovement. A common grounded Z-source dc dc converter wth hgh voltage gan s proposed for photovoltac (P applcatons, whch requre a relatvely hgh output nput voltage converson rato. The proposed converter, whch employs a conventonal Z-source network, can obtan hgher voltage gan and provde the common ground for the nput and output wthout any addtonal components, whch results n low cost and small sze. Moreover, the proposed converter features low voltage stresses of the swtch and dodes.

KEY WRDS: Z-source converter, Power Factor Correcton, Hgh oltage Gan. 1. INTRDUCTIN Solar photovoltac (P has emerged as a major contender to serve as an alternatve energy source and s currently playng a leadng role n supportng the exstng conventonal power generaton systems. Although the grd connected P systems are n extensve use today, solar P As an energy source was frst employed for off-grd (standalone Purposes rangng from low-power electronc gadgets. In stand-alone systems, maxmum power pont trackng (MPPT s possble only f battery backup s present. A battery s needed to store the excess energy generated through MPPT, whch the stand-alone load s unable to consume. For a P power system, the converter has to provde a stable output voltage under the condton of varyng nput voltage. Therefore, the voltage mode control based on the developed small-sgnal model s adopted. A novel Z-source converter, whch not only can acheve a hgh voltage gan, but also has the common grounded feature, and thus named common grounded Z-source dc dc converter wth hgh voltage gan. Ths converter makes some mnor mprovements on the bass of Z-source dc dc converter and requres no addtonal components. The hgh voltage gan can be obtaned va a lttle adjustment of the locaton of the load. Furthermore, ths converter has some other advantages, such as the smple structure and low voltage stresses on the swtch and dodes. The P power systems are classfed nto sngle-stage systems and two stage systems. The control methods of the sngle-stage systems based on the Z-source/quas-Z-source nverter are complex. The overall DC AC nverson gans depend on the shoot-through duty cycle and modulaton ndex by usng these control methods. And the hgh voltage gans always result n poor output power qualtes. The two-stage systems can realze hgh voltage gans wth the proposed converter. The two-stage systems are expected to have hgh effcency and MPPT algorthms can be ndependently appled to each P pane. Based on the approached n, common grounded z-source converter n (Hanyun Shen, Bo Zhang, 2016, solated full brdge boost converter n (Quoand, Smedley, 2001, soft swtchng novel DC-DC converter wth coupled nductor n (Le Jang M, 2013 and on the studes of (Yujn and Enjet, 2002; Sngh, 2003; Huang and Mazumder, 2009; Do, 2011, ths paper proposes the analyss and expermental verfcaton of a z-source converter wth soft swtchng results also an another sde power factor correcton made wth AC converson on output sde.

The proposed topology converter wth P panel was mplemented and obtaned DC voltage gets nto AC voltage. The power factor correcton and also battery storage was also done. An hgh gan DC output voltage has been receved wth respect to ther normal low value of nput. It has a hgh converson rato when compared to other converters. So compared wth other type of converter ths wll mprove the converson rato wth less amount of voltage stress. The power factor correcton also has been made on an nverter sde. The proposed converter has the future of mprovement n boost up voltage wthout any voltage stress wth hgh voltage gan. Ths s the best advantages of ths proposed converter and also t has a future n drve applcatons.
