Investigation of Efficiency and Thermal Performance of The Y-source Converters for a Wide Voltage Range
<p align="LEFT">The Y-source topology has a unique advantage of having high voltages gain with small shoot through duty cycles. Furthermore, having the advantage of high modulation index which increase the power density and improve the performance of the converter. In this paper, a c...
