Development and design of a Z-Source Inverter for Electric Vehicle Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
In the last decades, the increasing restrictions imposed on the exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines have given a strong impulse toward the development of electric propulsion systems for automotive applications. The goal of electric and hybrid vehicles is the reduction of global emissions and global warming which in turn leads to a decrease of fuel resources exploitation. In this PhD thesis, a Z-source inverter is designed and implemented for electric vehicle applications. The development of Z-source inverter can improve the efficiency of electric and hybrid vehicles and can reduce their production cost due to due to less component number compared with other converter topologies, reduced volume and easier control implementation.

متن کاملNovel MSVPWM to Reduce the Inductor Current Ripple for Z-Source Inverter in Electric Vehicle Applications
A novel modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM) strategy for Z-Source inverter is presented. By rearranging the position of shoot-through states, the frequency of inductor current ripple is kept constant. Compared with existing MSVPWM strategies, the proposed approach can reduce the maximum inductor current ripple. So the volume of Z-source network inductor can be designed smaller...
