  One of the popular impedance-network converters are Y-source converters which
along with their essential characteristics such as reducing the size of
converter components, single-stage power transferring, fault tolerance, and
wide voltage gain capabilities there are also some drawbacks that one of the
most widespread is high leakage inductances which affect performance
negatively. This paper introduces a new configuration based on coupled
inductors as a power electronic converter in three case studies to verify the
high reliability of the proposed converter by using just a simple controller
that is substantial for recycling brake energy in the propulsion system of
Electric Vehicles and grid-following inverters. This topology with a
straightforward structure, computation, and wide voltage gain, provides a
proper connection between the components of its network that obtains
appropriate paths for leakage energy, and likewise helps soft-switching in some
conditions. Additionally, the performance of other previously related
constructions is compared with the suggested topology. Simulations based on
MATLAB/ SIMULINK have been carried out, and correspondingly experiment results
have been also presented to substantiate the theoretical outcomes.
