ENHANCED-BOOST QUASI-Z-SOURCE INVERTERS

WITH TWO SWITCHED IMPEDANCE NETWORK

INTRODUCTION:
Traditional current source inverters (CSIs) and voltage
source inverters (VSIs) can only provide either boost or Buck
dc-ac conversion respectively. Accordingly to get greater AC
output voltage in the case of VSI, the VSI has to add extra
DC-DC boost converter in between the DC supply and
inverter bridge. Besides, the switching-on of both devices on a
phase-leg or two-phase legs or all the three-phase legs of the
inverter can cause dead-short circuit of the power
semiconductor devices.

EXISTING SYSTEM:
An impedance-source inverter (ZSI) in which the
impedance network consisting of two capacitors and two
inductors cascaded in between dc source and bridge inverter.
In the shoot-through state, the inductors (L1, L2) are charged
by the capacitors (C1, C2). In the non shoot-through state, the
stored energy in the inductors and input energy is released to
the dc-link, which boosts the voltage gain of the inverter in a
single-stage, thereby eliminates the dead time and improves
the reliability.
But, the conventional ZSI suffers from discrete input
current, the capacitors has to sustain high voltage, does not
share common ground with source and large inrush current
during starting condition.
DRAWBACK:
 The capacitors has to sustain high voltage.
 Does not share common ground with source
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
Novel enhanced-boost qZSI with two switched
impedance network inverter topology is proposed to provides
continuous input current from the source, reduces the
capacitor voltage stress to use lower component rating
devices, shares common ground with DC source and it
overcomes the starting inrush current problem. The proposed
novel inverter topologies for continuous and discontinuous
input current configurations respectively. Both configurations
have the same components (four-capacitors, five-diodes, and
four inductors are utilized). The only difference between these
proposed topologies is that, the negative polarity of capacitor
C3 is connected to positive terminal of dc supply in case of
discontinuous input current configuration.

To achieve continuous input current from the supply, the

negative polarity of capacitor c3 is connected to negative
terminal of dc supply. The continuous input current
configuration is used for analysis in this paper as an example.
The boost factor and voltage stress across the capacitors c1,
c2, and c4 are same for both the configurations, but the stress
on capacitor c3 is less for discontinuous current configuration
when compare to continuous input current configuration.

ADVANTAGES:

 Very high boost voltage inversion at low shoot-through

duty ratio.
 High modulation index to provide an improved quality
output voltage.

APPLICATIONS:

 Power conversion applications.
