Simple Boost Control for Z-Source Inverter

The Z-source inverter is a unique topology that allows both voltage buck and boost capabilities using an impedance network. Unlike traditional inverters, it can step up the output voltage without requiring an additional DC-DC converter.

A simple boost control strategy for a Z-source inverter typically involves controlling the shoot-through states—an operation where both switches in a phase leg are turned on simultaneously. This is safely managed within the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) scheme.

Key Aspects: Shoot-through states are intelligently inserted into the PWM signals to boost the DC-link voltage. By adjusting the shoot-through duty ratio, the boost factor can be regulated. The impedance network (capacitors and inductors) stores and releases energy to achieve the desired voltage gain.

This approach simplifies control while maintaining efficiency, making it suitable for applications like renewable energy systems and motor drives where variable DC voltage conditions exist.
