The impedance network of the proposed topology maintains the same number of components count and inverter outcome similar to traditional MCA-ZSI. The key advantages of the proposed topology are the reduced voltage stress on the main components of ZSI impedance network, i.e., capacitors. Besides, the inrush start-up current also reduced for the series connection of the whole impedance network from input DC side to output AC side. Moreover, the proposed topology provides a common ground which can help to reduce the leakage current in the photovoltaic application. For the common ground sharing feature, which is not available in the conventional MCA-ZSI, the SMCA-ZSI topology can be categorized as a doubly grounded inverter topology. The improved performances of the proposed SMCA-ZSI have been demonstrated by simulation results which are performed in Matlab/Simulink software. © 2019 IEEE. date: 2019 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85084500275&doi=10.1109%2fCENCON47160.2019.8974668&partnerID=40&md5=040b1ecb1fb2a83dfd0713dac7d5b9b1 id_number: 10.1109/CENCON47160.2019.8974668 full_text_status: none publication: CENCON 2019 - 2019 IEEE Conference on Energy Conversion volume: 2019-J pagerange: 182-187 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781728134338 citation: Subhani, N. and Kannan, R. and Porkumaran, K. and Prasath, S. and Srinath, M.
