Abstract

H-bridge quasi-Z-Source (HBqZS) converter became attractive solution for integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels to low voltage grid due to single stage power conversion. In this paper, a comparison analysis of two power semiconductor technologies, SiC-Mosfet and Si-IGBT, applied to HBqZS converter is Prasented. The comparison includes: efficiency and losses distribution among converter's components, impact of switching frequency on the parameters of passive components, as well as cost for both technologies. Finally, hardware SiC-Mosfet model is compared with simulation analysis.
