Three-level Z-source inverters are recent single-stage topological solutions proposed for buck-boost energy conversion with all favorable advantages of three-level switching retained. Despite their effectiveness in achieving voltage buck-boost conversion, existing three-level Z-source inverters use two impedance networks and two isolated dc sources, which can significantly increase the overall ...

Two generic configurations of forced commutated PWM converters, i.e. voltage source inverters and current source inverters, have been proposed as advanced reactive power compensators'. A new configuration to combine the features of the two generic ones is proposed, designed and analyzed in this paper. It is composed of a PWM current source inverter handling high power with very low switching fr...

Inverters with reduced number of switches have been proposed in the literature to improve the capability of cost reduction, total inverters size and switching losses of dc/ac inverter topologies. In addition, they have a lower probability of damaging the semi-conductor switches as well as lower commonmode currents. This paper proposes new designs for inverters with reduced number of switches. F...

This Project deals with an Embedded Z-source inverter to control the three phase induction motor. The Z-source inverters are recent topological options for buck–boost energy conversion with a number of possible voltage and current-type circuitries. The common advantage of Z-source inverter and Embedded Z-source inverter is the inclusion of an LC impedance network, placed between the dc input so...

-Because of the acute shortage of conventional energy resources, renewable energy harness is gaining attention. Voltage source inverter forms the interface to feed the power from the renewable source to utility. In order to increase the modularity of the system, the use of several parallel inverters of reduced rating is preferred. An effective control strategy to maintain the amplitude and freq...

The essential demand in high AC voltage testing is the availability of a test voltage with high quality, which is variable in amplitude and frequency. The power supply should not have any influence on the measurements – even the PDmeasurement and should be able to control a fault of the test objects insulation safely. These demands can be fulfilled using modern IGBT inverters. Two level voltage...

The Transformer based Z-Source inverter is an enhanced series inductance Z-Source impedance network. This proposed inverter is used to combine the main circuit and the power source. This configuration delivers a strong boost capacity to overcome the barriers of the series inductance Z-source inverter. Further, with the usage of low voltage capacitors and the transformer, the capacitor voltage s...
