Z-Source Inverter

Project Code :TEMAPE155

Objective

The main objective of this project is an impedance-source power converter and its control method for implementing dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion.

Abstract

In this project, presents an impedance-source (or impedance-fed) power converter (abbreviated as Z-source converter) and its control method for implementing dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion. 

The Z-source converter employs a unique impedance network (or circuit) to couple the converter main circuit to the power source, thus providing unique Features that cannot be obtained in the traditional voltage-source (or voltage-fed) and current-source (or current-fed) converters where a capacitor and inductor are used, respectively. The Z-source converter overcomes the conceptual and theoretical barriers and limitations of the traditional voltage-source converter (abbreviated as V-source converter) and current-source converter (abbreviated as I-source converter) and provides a novel power conversion concept. 

The Z-source concept can be applied to all dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion. To describe the operating principle and control, this paper focuses on an example: a Z-source inverter for dc-ac power conversion needed in fuel cell applications. The performance of the proposed controller results evaluated by using Matlab/Simulink software.

Keywords: Fuel cell battery, inverter, voltage-source inverter, Z-Source inverter.
