SiC-Based Active Quasi-Z-Source Inverter with Improved PWM Control Strategy
2019
In this study, an improved pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme was proposed for an active quasi-Z source inverter (AqZSI). Compared to the quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI), the AqZSI with improved PWM strategy can operate in a wide range of input voltage with higher efficiency. Furthermore, the AqZSI can operate with a higher modulation index, a lower inductor current stress, and a reduced shoot-through current. A procedure flowchart is presented for the optimal selection of the shoot-through duty cycle, the switching ratio of the additional switch, and the modulation index for AqZSI. Moreover, some comparative results between the AqZSI, qZSI and conventional two-stage inverter with a boost DC–DC converter are shown in detail. Finally, 1.2 kVA SiC-based three-phase inverter prototypes are built to verify the agreement between theory and measurement.
