This paper presents a new current-source PWM inverter based on Buck-boost configuration to interface between photovoltaic system and utility line. Proposed inverter is consisted by two set of buck-boost topology, and the input inductor is designed to be operated on the discontinuous current conduction mode. So high power factor can be achieved without additional input CtUTent controller. As a result, overall system has simple structure, and it can obtain higher ac output rms voltage than the terminal voltage of the photovoltaic system without additional boosting procedure. The operational modes are theoretically analyzed, and then the validity of the proposed system was verified through simulation and experimental results using a prototype.
