Current source inverters (CSIs) use inductors as the major component to store energy. Compared with voltage (VSIs), CSIs have two advantages: 1. They can avoid converter failure caused by capacitor failures, and 2. The load current does not increase mutation or even short-circuit failure. Therefore, be a promising technology for EV charging. However, waveforms, parameter design procedure, power...

The DC/AC inverters are used in grid-coupled Photovoltaic (PV) energy fabrication systems as the power meting out interface between the PV power source and the electric grid. Compared to the grid-coupled PV inverters that have galvanic separation (either on the DC, or on the AC side),the transformer-less PV inverters have the advantages of lower cost, higher efficiency, smaller size and lower w...

Voltage source inverter (VSI) fed induction motors are widely used in variable speed applications. The harmonic distortion in the line currents of the inverter depends on the switching frequency and the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique employed to switch the inverter. The inverter switching loss is also strongly influenced by the PWM technique used. This paper compares the harmonic distor...

In modern traction propulsion applications, voltage source inverter (VSI) fed traction motors today operate very close to borderline conditions. With new emerging semiconductor technologies, higher inverter switching frequencies will be possible and high inverter dv/dt-rates appear, resulting in transient overvoltages at the machine which increase the stress on the insulation system and lead to...

This paper presents a new step-up DC/DC converter topology to be used for distributed energy systems. The topology contains a voltage-fed quasiZ-source inverter with continuous input current, a high-frequency step-up isolation transformer and a voltage doubler rectifier. Main operating modes of the converter are explained and steady state analysis of the voltage-fed quasi-Z-source inverter is p...
