Abstract— This paper proposes a new type of converter called Single Phase Z-source Matrix Converter (SPZMC). The SPZMC is an ac-to-ac converter device. Simulated using diode bridge bidirectional switch cell. The simulation is performed in different loads with fixed input and variable output frequency. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching strategy is used to obtain the variable frequency. The ...

An impedance-source (or impedance-fed) power converter (abbreviated as Z-source) and its control method for implementing dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion are presented in this paper. This impedance converter employs a unique impedance network (or circuit) to couple the converter main circuit to the power source, hence provides a unique feature that cannot be obtained ...

Abstract: The quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) with battery operation can balance the stochastic fluctuations of photovoltaic (PV) power injected to the grid/load. This work proposes a new topology of the energy-stored qZSI to overcome this disadvantage and delivers the continuous power to the grid/load. The operating characteristic of the proposed solution is analyzed in detail and compared to t...

Abstract: This paper presents a recent popular power inverter which is impedance source or Z-source inverter (ZSI) and the comparison and analysis of two conventional PWM techniques of Z-source inverter. Due to the impedance network it couples inverter main circuit to the power source thus providing special features that can overcome the limitations of traditional voltage source inverter (VSI) ...

This paper presents a Modified control method for Space Vector Modulated (SVM) Z Source inverters. Proposed algorithm provides a modified voltage vector with single stage controller having one degree of freedom wherein traditional controllers have two degrees of freedom. Through this method of control, the full utilization of the dc link input voltage and keeping the lowest voltage stress acros...

Abstract: This paper proposed a new type of converter called Single Phase Switched Inductor Z-source Matrix Converter (SLMC). It is an ac-to-ac converter with diode bridge bidirectional switch cell. The limitations of existing matrix converter like voltage regulation and quality output issues are overcome in the proposed SLMC by adding the switched inductance.
