Abstract :
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a single phase three-level neutral-point-clamped quasi-Z-source inverter for photovoltaic application. The prototype and the case study system are described. Experimental results along with theoretical losses analysis are discussed. The implemented maximum power point tracking algorithm was verified in a real photovoltaic system.
