output voltage increases to infinite.
Compared to Fig. 3, the possible operation region of this control method is much wider. On the other hand, for any given
voltage gain, a higher modulation index can be used, which
means lower voltage stress across the switches.
From (9) and voltage gain defined in (3), the maximum modulation index that can be used for a given voltage gain is

Thus, the voltage stress is

The voltage stress versus the voltage gain is shown in Fig. 7.
Compared with the simple control method, shown in Fig. 4,
the voltage stress in the proposed control method is much lower,
which means that for given devices, the inverter can be operated
to obtain a higher voltage gain.

of voltage stress versus voltage gain is shown in Fig. 10.
IV. SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
To demonstrate the validity of the control strategies, simulation and experiments were conducted with the configuration
shown in Fig. 11 with the following parameters: Z-source
network:
1 mH,
1.3 mF, switching
frequency: 10 kHz. The purpose of the system is to compare
the performance of the Z-source inverter under different input
voltage and similar output three-phase voltage of around

methods has been proven.
V. CONCLUSION
This paper presented two control methods to obtain maximum voltage gain of the Z-source inverter. The method maximizes the shoot through period without effecting the active
states by turning all zero states into the shoot through zero state,
thus maximum output voltage can be obtained for a given modulation index. In turn, maximum modulation index can be used to
obtain any desired output voltage, thus, minimizing the voltage
stress across the switches. Third harmonic injection can also be
used to extend the modulation index range. The relationship of
the voltage gain versus modulation index was analyzed, and the
relationship between minimum voltage stress of the switches
and voltage gain was given. Simulation and experiments were
conducted to verify the control methods and analysis.
