Abstract This study is dedicated to develop a single-phase modified Y-source inverter ( m -YSI) topology having a high boost factor and low switch voltage stress by adding a switch to the low voltage region. Thanks to this structure, continuous input current and wide control range are achieved regardless of winding factor. Since an external switch is used in the recommended modified Y-source inverter, the modulation index and duty ratio are controlled independently. Detailed analyses of the modified Y-source inverter were performed using Matlab/Simulink and its performance was compared with conventional Y-source inverters. Compared to selected conventional Y-source inverters, the proposed m -YSI has almost three times less voltage stress. A lower-cost topology has been obtained in which state-of-the-art control methods can be applied, thanks to a wide control range and circuit components with a low power ratio. This proposed model can be used as a double-stage micro-inverter in photovoltaic systems.
