A Pulsewidth Modulation Technique for

High-Voltage Gain Operation of ThreePhase Z-Source Inverters
Introduction:
Traditional voltage source inverters (VSIs) and current source
inverters (CSIs) are experiencing buck and boost dcac converter
capability, respectively; however, they cannot retain the two features
together; therefore, their obtainable output voltage range is limited to
either less or more than the input voltage. For applications requiring
both buck and boost voltage conversion, Z-source inverter (ZSI) has
been recently proposed as a viable solution with several performance
merits. The ZSI can be employed in the inversion stage as VSI or CSI
supporting both buck and boost functions only in a single stage. The
ZSI uses an exclusive impedance network coupled between the dc
voltage source and the converter circuit.

Existing system:
Available on the market, which avoids a transformer in order to
reduce magnetic components and to increase efficiency. This
topology can be used in several European countries e.g. Germany.
Other countries require a transformer. While using a boost converter
to boost the low PV voltage, shaping and inverting of the output
current have to be done in the second converter stage at high voltage
level. One manufacturer produces module integrated inverters with
MOSFETs switching at 400 and 800 Wz. The possibly resonant
topology is unknown. Module integrated and module oriented

inverters provide the highest system flexibility. Each module has its
own MPP tracking, furthermore, no DC wiring is required. Their
plug and play characteristic is attractive, as is their ability to
provide a complete PV system at low (plus rapidly decreasing)
investment cost.

Drawbacks:
Low boosting capability.
High cost per watt.
Failure of one of the PV modules results in a complete loss of
generation.

Proposed system:
ZSI which is the sharp variation at high-voltage gains and the
sensitivity of the higher voltage gains to the small variation of the
modulation index. A new modulation technique for three-phase ZSIs,
which is capable of reaching a wider voltage-boost range with high
reliability and without adding extra components. Unlike all the
conventional modulation techniques where the ST duty ratio depends
on the modulation index, the proposed modulation technique
decouples the interdependence between the ST duty ratio and the
modulation index keeping the latter constant at its maximum possible
value, and both of the ST duty ratio and the boosting factor depend on
a new parameter rather than the modulation index. The proposed
