The battery energy-stored quasi-Z-source (BES-qZS)-based photovoltaic (PV) power generation system combines advantages of the qZS inverter and the battery energy storage system. However, the second-harmonic ( ${\text{2}}\omega $ ) power ripple degrades the system's performance and affects the system's design. An accurate model to analyze the ${\text{2}}\omega $ ripple is very important. The existing models did not consider the battery, or assumed a symmetric qZS network with $L_{{1}}= L_{{2}}$ and $C_{{1}}= C_{{2}}$ , which limits the design freedom and causes oversized impedance parameters. This paper proposes a comprehensive model for the single-phase BES-qZS-PV inverter system, where the battery is considered and there is no restriction of $L_{{1}}= L_{{2}}$ and $C_{{1}}= C_{{2}}$ . Based on the built model, a BES-qZS impedance design method is proposed to mitigate the ${\text{2}}\omega $ ripple with asymmetric qZS network. Simulation and experimental results verify the proposed ${\text{2}}\omega $ ripple model and impedance design method.
