Abstract: Grid architectures are preferred in modern smart residential electrical power systems. These types of systems engage various load types like DC as well as AC interfaced with sources using power electronic converters. This type of architecture has separate power converters for AC to DC conversion and DC to DC conversion. This study projects a converter which can feed DC and AC loads simultaneously from a single DC input. The projected converter is realized with a VSI bridge network instead of the control switch used in single-switch boost converters. The consequential hybrid converter obtained, requires less switches to give both forms of output showing more reliability. It provides shoot-through protection and has improved power processing. The switches are triggered by efficient SVM method to suppress the harmonics present in the output voltage. The simulation results depict AC and DC outputs that verify the credibility of the proposed converter.
