Maximum Constant Boost Control of SL-Z-Source Inverter

This paper explores Switched Inductor (SL) Zsource inverter which adjusts the voltage and have application in Fuel cells (FCs) which have achieved global attention as an alternative power source for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The proposed inverter uses inductor and capacitor circuit to join the source and load circuit. On comparing with the initial Z-source inverter, the explored circuit and the new inverter increases the reliability and the performance of the circuit by finding the solution between M and D. A Maximum Constant Boost which is used as a controlling strategy for the system which gives the benefit that the output voltage can be increased or decreased both. Constant boost control also reduces the voltages stress and cost of inverter .The results are verified and analysed in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
