In this paper, an improved coupled-inductor impedance source network (CL-ISN) with more freedom in winding match is proposed. Through introducing three-winding coupled-inductor cells, the proposed CL-ISN can produce the same voltage gain by using different turn ratios among three windings, which will largely increase the freedom in winding match. Also, the proposed CL-ISN can produce the higher boost ability, realize the continuous input current and suppress the start-up inrush current. The topology derivations, math calculations and parameter design of proposed CL-ISN are given out. The proposed CL-ISN is applied for DC-AC converter, and a full comparison between proposed CL-ISN and other impedance source networks are made based on DC-AC converter. Finally, the experiment prototype is built to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.
