A comparative study of three topologies of recently developed voltage-fed z-source inverter (ZSI) such as simple ZSI, quasi-ZSI and trans-QZSI is presented in this paper. Different control techniques, proposed earlier for simple ZSI such as simple boost control, maximum boost control and constant boost control, have been applied here for all type of ZSI topologies. The detailed comparative eval...

Conventional AC/DC power converters that are connected to the line through full-wave rectifier draws a non-sinusoidal input current. These Harmonic currents flowing through the impedances in the electrical utility distribution system can cause several problems such as voltage distortion, heating, noises. These harmonics distort the local voltage waveform, potentially interfering with other elec...

This paper proposes a new passive snubber for enhancing the power conversion efficiency on a single phase ac-dc power factor correction (PFC) converter based on boost topology for battery charging systems. Soft switching can be achieved in the proposed converter with the proposed auxillary passive snubber circuit which is added to the conventional boost PFC converter. The converter switch is pr...

Abstract: This paper presents Simulation of three phase PWM Inverter fed Induction Motor Drive using Pspice. The proposed induction motor drive model employs only seven switches and incorporates an active current shaping feature. The boost converter at the input can give the required voltage at the input of inverter. The boost converter also improves the power factor. The drive works satisfacto...

In this paper a single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) buck-boost PFC converter operating in critical conduction mode (CRM) is proposed. By multiplexing a single inductor, each output of SIDO buck-boost converter can be regulated independently. Compared with conventional two-stage multiple output converter, SIDO buck-boost PFC converter benefits from significant overall cost saving, small size and ...
