In this paper optimal torque control (OTC) of stand-alone variable-speed small-scale wind turbine equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous generator and a switch- mode rectifier is presented. It is shown that with OTC method in standalone configuration, power coefficient could be reached to its maximum possible value, i.e. 0.48. An appropriate control algorithm based on turbine characterist...

This paper presents a Hybrid Two Quasi Z-source(HTQZS) DC-DC converter for photovoltaic applications. These are mainly employed to full fill the demand of the voltage boost in photovoltaic applications from the lower value voltage. The traditional z source networks have some limitations in voltage boosting, so the modified z source means the different combination of the LC components is combine...

A modified pulse width modulation technique for Z-source inverter based BLDC motor is proposed and analyzed in this project.The Z-source inverter can be used as Buck/Boost converter with lower cost and high efficiency. BLDC motors are used in electric vehicles where portability and efficiency are required. This drive system provides advantages of both BLDC motors and Z-source inverter, and can ...

This paper proposes a novel cascaded multilevel topology, named Single-dc-Source quasi-Z Source Cascade Multilevel Inverter. inverter has the ability to provide independent regulation of dc bus voltage each H-bridge, ensuring real power balancing and true symmetric waveforms. In addition, Inverter allows operating with single low PV array. provides detailed analysis operation design methodology...

Abstract This paper presents a comparison between PV system using Z source inverters and Quazi Z source inverters. The Z-source inverter employs a unique LC network to couple the inverter power circuit to the diode front end and can be shoot through to boost the DC link voltage. By controlling the shoot-through duty cycle, the PV array output voltage is controlled and the maximum power point tr...

The impedance networks increment the input DC voltage of the voltage source inverters. Their advantage is lack of the additional switches – they use only inverter bridge switches. However they cause some side effects in the inverter operation. Up today the tips how to design Z-Source impedance network keeping it in the Current Continuous Mode are rare in the literature. The paper present proble...

This paper presents the expansion of power quality for variable speed Wind Power System (WPS) using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and Trans Z-Source Inverter. The PMSG is having compact collection and dimensions, compare to Induction Generator. Induction Generator needs the grid power, then only start the power production. But without take up the grid power PMSG should produce t...
