    In recent decades, given the world's inevitable energy scarcity, increasing energy demand and green energy concerns, high efficiency energy conversion has become more important and attractive than ever, and researchers have directed their interest to energyefficient converters. Inverters are a commonly utilized type of converter, which can be classified into two categories: single and two-stage inverters. Considering the inherent drawbacks of traditional inverters, a quasi-single-stage inverter (QSSI) has emerged. The QSSI uses a DC-DC converter to shape the rectified version of the desired AC waveform in the first stage and, in the second stage, it switches only once to alternate the polarity. It stands forward in terms of efficiency, control simplicity, and system stability. Among QSSI, a non-inverting buck-boost converter has drawn attention due to its capability to perform both step-up and down modes and its bidirectional power transfer feature. In the first stage of the QSS non-inverting buck-boost converter; smooth transitions between the buck and boost modes and efficient conversion cannot be achieved by the traditional two-mode control method when the output voltage level is close to the input voltage level due to various limitations, non-idealities, and disturbances. Many methods have been applied and studied in the literature to minimize or eliminate the effects of the region which is called the “dead zone”. In this thesis study, further efficiency and THD improvement for the QSSI is targeted by employing a four-mode control method. The study incorporates a comparative study of the dead zone effects on inverter systems, which have not been previously documented in the literature. Moreover, it places a priority on optimizing efficiency and minimizing distortion in various applications— ranging from motor control and solar energy systems to grid-tied wind turbines and switched-mode power supplies—by comparing existing methods with open-loop voltage control. In conclusion, the theoretical results are verified with experimental studies.
