This thesis proposes a new bidirectional three-phase AC-DC power converter using matrix converter and Z-source inverter topologies. Advantages of the AC-DC matrix converter are the inherently controllable power factor, the tight DC voltage regulation, the wide bandwidth with quick response to load variation, the single-stage buck-voltage AC-to-DC power conversion; advantages of the z-source inverter are the increased reliability by allowing the shoot-through between upper and lower power switches of one inverter leg, insensitivity to DC bus voltage due to the extra freedom of controlling DC-link voltage. The proposed Matrix-Z-source converter (MZC) marries up both advantages of AC-DC matrix converter and Z-source inverter. It can achieve voltage-boost DC-AC inversion capable of variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) AC output; it can achieve voltage-buck AC-DC rectification capable of inherent control over AC current phase angle and DC output regulation with a (VVVF) AC source supply. Both foresaid performance in DC-AC inversion and AC-DC rectification can be implemented in a simple open-loop control manner. Three constraints of VSI, in the bidirectional AC-DC power conversion, are the peak AC voltages are always less than DC-link voltage, closed-loop control has to be employed when DC regulation and/or AC current phase angle control are required, and AC voltage is sensitive to the variation of the DC-link voltage in DC-AC inversion. The voltage-boost inversion and/or voltage-buck rectification of MZC overcomes the first constraint; thus MZC enables the AC machine voltage increased higher than DC-link voltage hence advantages of running AC machine at relatively high voltages are enabled. The direct DC voltage regulation and inherent AC-current-phase-angle control of MZC overcomes the second constraint in an open-loop manner; hence a simplified system design is obtained with sufficient room for the further improvement by closed-loop control schemes. The extra freedom in controlling DC-link voltage of MZC overcomes the third constraint hence a DC source voltage adaptable inverter is obtained. This thesis focuses on the study of the feasibility of the proposed MZC through theoretical analysis and experimental verification. At first, the proposed MZC is conceptually constructed by examining the quadrant operation of AC-DC matrix converter and Z-source inverter. After the examination of the operating principles of both AC-DC matrix converter and Z-source inverter, the configuration of MZC is then proposed. The MZC has two operating modes: DC-AC inversion and AC-DC rectification. Circuit analysis for both operating modes shows that the new topology does not impose critical conflict in circuit design or extra restriction in parameterization. On the contrary, one version of the proposed MZC can make full advantage of Z-source network components in both operating modes, i.e. a pair of Z-source inductor and capacitor can be used as low-pass filter in AC-DC rectification. The modulation strategy, average modeling of system, and features of critical variables for circuit design of the proposed MZC were examined for each operating mode. Simulations of the proposed MZC and its experimental verification have been presented. Analytical models of conduction and switching losses of the power-switch network in different operating mode have shown that the losses in the MZC compare favorably with conventional VSI for a range of power factor and modulation indices.

Wechselrichter im Antriebsstrang von Elektrofahrzeugen verbinden Batterie und Motor miteinander. Bei konventionellen Wechselrichtern ist die Ständerspannung des Fahrmotors durch die Batteriespannung begrenzt. Dies ist vor allem bei hohen Drehzahlen nachteilig, da hier ein zusätzlicher feldschwächender Strom notwendig ist. Dieser Strom wiederum verursacht zusätzliche Verluste in der Maschine und der Leistungselektronik. Einen alternativen Ansatz bieten hochsetzende Wechselrichter. Die Begrenzung der Ständerspannung durch die Batterie entfällt. In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit werden zwei hochsetzende Wechselrichter miteinander verglichen. Zunächst wird die Funktionsweise des Wechselrichters mit Hochsetzsteller und des ZSource-Wechselrichters erläutert. Danach werden Bauelemente für beide hochsetzende Wechselrichter ausgewählt. Anschließend werden die Verluste und das thermische Verhalten der ausgewählten Konfigurationen analysiert und mit Matlab simuliert. Abschließend werden der Wechselrichter mit Hochsetzsteller und der Z-Source-Wechselrichter bezüglich der Kriterien Wirkungsgrad, Zuverlässigkeit und Fertigungsaufwand miteinander verglichen. / Inverter in the drive train of electric vehicles connect the battery to the machine. Using conventional inverters, the stator voltage is limited by the battery voltage. This is mainly a disadvantage at a high speed, since an additional field weakening current is needed. This current produces extra losses in the electrical machine and the power electronics. DC/DC boosted inverters offer an alternative solution. A limitation of stator voltage through the battery does not occur. This diploma thesis is comparing two kinds of DC/DC boosted inverters. First the functionality of an inverter with boost converter and that of a Z-Sourceinverter are presented. Afterwards the electrical components for both inverters are chosen and are simulated using Matlab. Finally the results of the simulation are compared with respect to power effciency, reliability of the electrical components and the effort of production.

The thesis is related to investigate characteristics and performance of a Z-source full bridge dc/dc converter which boosts the input voltage to a higher output voltage. Zsource structure increases the reliability of the converter according to current fed full bridge dc/dc converter and also reducing the complexity according to two stage design approach (boost followed by full bridge). Operating principles of the Z-source dc-dc converter is described by current and voltage waveforms of the components and mathematical expressions. Moreover, small signal models and transfer functions are derived for both continuous current mode (CCM) and discontinuous current mode (DCM) operations of the converter. Waveforms obtained, mathematical expressions, small signal models and transfer functions derived are confirmed by simulations. Performance of the converter and controller are both tested in laboratory prototype.

Topologias de inversores sem transformador têm menores custos, tamanho e peso. Contudo, a não utilização do transformador pode ser responsável por consideráveis valores de correntes de fuga. A associação em série de vários módulos fotovoltaicos se faz necessária para alcançar o nível de tensão desejado no barramento c.c.. Com o intuito de reduzir o número de módulos fotovoltaicos em série, topologias com característica de elevação de tensão (boost) podem ser utilizadas. Portanto, topologias que possuem estas características e que possam apresentar baixos valores de correntes de fuga devem ser escolhidas para o estudo. As topologias presentes neste trabalho são: o conversor de dois estágios, o inversor fonte Z monofásico com diodo adicional, e o inversor fonte Z de três estados. / This work presents a comparative study of single-phase converters applied to transformerless photovoltaic systems. Topologies of transformerless inverters have lower costs, size and weight. However, not using it may cause considerable amounts of leakage currents. The association in series of several PV modules is needed to achieve the voltage level desired in d.c. bus. In order to reduce the number of photovoltaic modules in series, topologies with voltage boost characteristic can be used. Therefore, topologies that have voltage boost characteristic and can have low leakage current values are chosen for the study. Topologies present in this work are: the two stages single-phase converter, the single-phase Z-source inverter with additional diode, and the single-phase three switch three state Z-source inverter.

In this work, the operating modes and characteristics of a Z-source full-bridge dc/dc converter are investigated. The mathematical analysis of the converter in continuous conduction mode, CCM and discontinuous conduction mode-2, DCM-2 operations is conducted. The transfer functions are derived for CCM and DCM-2 operation and validated by the simulation. The current mode controller of the converter is designed and its performance is checked in the simulation. The component waveforms in CCM and DCM-2 modes of operation are verified by operating the prototype converter in open-loop mode. The designed controller performance is tested with the closed-loop control implementation of the prototype converter. The theoretical efficiency analysis of the converter is made and compared with the measured efficiency of converter.

This report is about control, design and implementation of a low voltage-fed quasi Z-source three-level inverter. The topology has been interesting for photovoltaic-systems due to its ability to boost the incoming voltage without needing an extra switching control. The topology was first simulated in Simulink and later implemented on a full-bridge module to measure the harmonic distortion and estimating the power losses of the inverter. An appropriate control scheme was used to set up a shootthrough and design a three-level inverter. The conclusion for the report is that the quasi Z-source inverter could boost the DC-link voltage in the simulation. But there should be more consideration to the internal resistance of the components for the implementation stage as it gave out a lower output voltage than expected.
