One of the disadvantages of the charging systems and voltage regulation systems in alternative energy systems is that when the direct current (DC)/alternative current (AC) or AC/DC conversion is made from the energy source, the energy flow at 2w frequency between the direct current side and the alternative current side causes ripples in the DC, inductors, and capacitors. The ripples that occur in 2w frequency increase the harmonic distortion and reduce the efficiency in the photovoltaic energy system. For addressing this problem, different control methods are evaluated in this paper for the elimination of ripples that occur at 2w frequency, both on the perspective of DC control side and AC control side with a thorough comparative analysis with existing results in the literature. In the present study, the model of Single-Phase Quasi-Z Source (QZS) inverter and closed-loop control methods of the inverter are examined and compared with pulse width modulation (PWM) methods. In addition, the control methods are used to eliminate the ripples at 2w frequency in the use of inverters, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are presented.
