Z-SOURCE INVERTERS: DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS

Since the invention of power conversion systems, power inverters including both simple two - level and comparatively complex multi - level topologies have so far been broadly applied for dc - dc power inversions such as ac - motor drive, renewable energy interfacing and uninterruptable power supply. For the control of electric power or power conditioning, the conversion of electric power from one form to another is necessary and the switching characteristics of the power devices permit these conversions. A static power converter, which i s usually considered as a switching matrix, perform as a major power converter.
