Single-source inverters with integrated switched-boost (SB) module and single-stage energy power conversion architecture have become a popular solution in many power electronics applications. This paper presents a novel topology of such types of inverters, which offers a modular design with a dynamic voltage boosting feature over a wide range of input voltages. The basic configuration of the proposed topology is able to generate three output voltage levels. It is comprised of an integrated SB module and a Quasi-H-Bridge (QHB) cell. The QHB cell consists of a self-balanced floating capacitor and four power switches, and the SB cell consists of a boost inductor and a single power switch. A five-level boosted output voltage can be achieved through the differential connection of two identical QHB cells utilizing a single SB module. The circuit description of the proposed topology, a comparative study, and the simulation and measurement results are given to verify the feasibility of this proposal.
