CHAPTER 6.

CONCLUSION
6.1 Advantages

The advantages of Z-source inverter are listed as follows:

 Current source inverter needs a extra converter stage & in voltage


source inverter protection against short circuit is difficult. Behave in a
boost or buck operation only. Thus the obtainable output voltage range
is limited, either smaller or greater than the

 Input voltage, instead of that the Z-source inverter can be used. The
source can be either a voltage source or a current source. The DC
source of a ZSI can either be a battery, a diode rectifier or a thyristor
converter, a fuel cell stack or a combination of these.

 Z- Source inverter system provides ride-through capability during


voltage sags, reduces line harmonics, improves power factor and
reliability and extends output voltage range.
 The main circuit of a ZSI can either be the traditional VSI or the
traditional CSI.
 Works as a buck-boost inverter.
 The load of a ZSI can either be inductive or capacitive or another Z-
Source network.

6.2 Future development

As the proposed system present some drawbacks or have been incompletely developed,
some future works are to be further considered

 Integrated experimental setup: Hardware prototype is not integrated with PMSG and
wind turbine system. This is required to work as a complete setup.
 Intelligent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Algorithm could be developed the
features independent of the wind turbine characteristics, and thus flexible and effective,
and trainable online to behave adaptively.

To continue and complete the work presented in this dissertation, one can focus on a number
of specific areas. Considering the future importance of z-source converters, the author proposes
application of this for following systems.

Though some works have been started but immense development scopes are there with
design of suitable control system:

 Adjustable speed drives, motor drives

 Grid-connected photovoltaic/ Fuel cell systems

 Autonomous power generation systems;

 Multilevel neutral point circuit development;

 Analysis of special operation modes typical for embedded network.

 Traction drives of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Because of the wide voltage range of the
fuel cell, the inverter and the motor need to be oversized to accommodate the great
constant power speed ratio.

The Z-source inverter could be a cheap and reliable solution for this application.

6.3.1 Z-source converter for wind energy generation

Wind Turbines usage as sources of energy has increased significantly in the world. With
growing application of wind energy conversion systems (WECS), various technologies are
developed for them. With numerous advantages, permanent-magnet synchronous generator
(PMSG) generation system represents an important trend in development of wind power
applications to realize these objectives; the ac–ac converter is one of the best topology for Wind
Energy Conversion system.

Fig. 6.1 Conventional Wind Generation System

Fig.4.1 shows a conventional configuration of AC-DC-AC topology for PMSG. This


configuration includes diode rectifier, boost DC–DC converter and inverter. In this topology,
boost converter is controlled for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and converter is
controlled to deliver high-quality power.
In the last two decades different converter topologies have been investigated for power
conditioning of wind turbine generator systems. The Z-source converters have been reported
recently as a competitive alternative to existing inverter topologies with many inherent
advantages such as voltage boost. This inverter facilitates voltage boost capability with the
turning ON of both switches in the same inverter phase leg (shoot-through state).

The impedance source or impedance fed power converter is abbreviated as Z-source converter. It
can be used for the implementation of DC to DC, AC to DC, AC to AC and DC to AC power
conversions. In 2003, effort was put to model analysis of a general Z-source converter, which
overcomes the barriers and limitations of the traditional voltage source and current source
converters and provides a novel power conversion concept. In this converter, a two-port network
that consists of split inductors L1 and L2 and capacitors C1 and C2 connected in X shape is
employed to provide an impedance source coupling the converter to the DC source, load, or
another converter. The DC source or load can be either a voltage or a current source or load.
Therefore, the DC source can be a battery, diode rectifier, thyristor converter, generator, an
inductor, a capacitor, or a combination of those.

6.4 CONCLUSION

This work has following contributions,

The modeling and simulation of Z-network with single phase full bridge inverter is
presented in MATLAB-Simulink environment for the verification of the design
parameters.

Two PWM control strategies are proposed, like Sinusoidal carrier-based PWM and
Simple Boost Control. These methods are described in detail and compared on the basis
of simulation in MATLAB/ Simulink. The ripple of Z-source element, output voltage,
current and their harmonics profile are varied with modulation index and switching
frequency. Also it focuses the effect of shoot through state on the traditional and Z-source
inverter.

Similarly two different applications are successfully presented, first is based on


performance and simulation analysis of photo voltaic (PV) system based on Z-Source
inverter. Second application is based on modeling and simulation of Z-source inverter to
control the speed of Induction Motor.

Finally, the verification of the simulated system is compared with the experimental
prototype of the single phase Z-source inverter and its control operation is developed
using ARM-7 for speed control of induction motor.
