Single-phase buck-boost inverters are very popular nowadays due to the wide input voltage range regulation capability. This feature is mostly demanded by photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell, or battery storage applications. In this study, four new structures from the family of flying inductor (FI)-based inverters are presented. Performance in a wide range of input dc voltages and the ability to increase the voltage in single-power processing stage is one of the features of the proposed structures. Three of the four structures are common ground and completely bypass the parasitic capacitors which make them attractive for PV application. Nonuse of electrolytic capacitors in the proposed structures helps to increase the life of the converter and also there is no unpleasant inrush current of charging electrolytic capacitors in these structures. The operation modes are fully explained, as well as the theoretical analysis and design of passive elements have been done. Finally, the simulation and 2 kW laboratory circuit for the proposed Type-III structure are performed and the results are investigated.
