This system where the step-up converter is implemented by an isolated Zeta converter. In this case, the ZETA converter has two functions: To provide electrical isolation and synthesize a rectified sinusoidal current waveform similar to the power grid. This paper presents a dynamic modeling study for a ZETA converter working in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) applied to low power renewable energy sources using the generalized switch averaging technique. The modeling is performed considering only resistive loads. The whole system consists of a ZETA converter, using a sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PWM), associated with a full-bridge (FB) inverter, operating at low frequency, in order to synthesize a sinusoidal waveform at its output. Thus, the system works as a sinusoidal low power source. Initially it is presented a brief analysis of thesystem, as well as the characteristics that made possible the dynamic analysis in DCM. The generalized switch averaging technique is discussed, and also the small-signal analysis of the ZETA converter. In order to validate the current study experimental and simulation results are presented
