Novel single-stage buck-boost inverter with unfolding circuit

A novel solution of a single-stage buck-boost inverter with unfolding circuit at the output stage is presented. The inverter has a wide range of input voltage regulation, minimum passive components and a very flexible control structure. It can be applied for renewable energy systems where high power density is required. Our simulation results confirmed all theoretical statements.
