Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

Renewable energy sources (RES) place main role in present days to generate power. The Switched Boost Inverter is a single stage dc-ac power converter, whose output voltage can be either greater or less than its input dc voltage. This converter can supply both dc and ac loads, simultaneously, which makes it suitable for micro grid applications. Also, this converter allows shoot-through of the in...

This paper presents the design and experimental voltage quality evaluation of controllers for the output voltages of 3-phase four-leg voltage source inverters. These inverters are needed in stand-alone power systems to supply linear and non-linear, balanced or unbalanced loads with constant RMS value voltages at fixed frequency. Comparisons include closed loop outer voltage controllers based on...

This paper is devoted to in-detail demonstrationand description of the overall functionality and deailed processes in every component quasi-z-source voltage inverter. Expressions for currents voltages on all elements circuit standard "shoot-trough" modes are provided. These ratios demonstrate one main technological advantages topology: which possibility reduction capacitor that forms quasi-z-ci...

Permanent magnet brushless DC motor (PMBLDCM) drives are being employed in many variable speed applications due to their high efficiency, silent operation, compact size, high reliability, ease of control, and low maintenance requirements. These drives have power quality problems and poor power factor at input AC mains as they are mostly fed through diode bridge rectifier based voltage source in...

Direct current (DC)-link voltage ripple analysis is essential for determining harmonic noise and for DC-link capacitor design and selection in single-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) inverters. This paper provides an extensive theoretical analysis of DC-link voltage ripple for full-bridge (H-bridge) inverters, with simulation and experimental verifications, considering a DC source impedance (...
