Abstract

In real inverters' operations, it is essential to insert delay time in the pulses provided to the inverter switches to protect the DC link against the short circuits. From this situation, the dead time phenomenon is introduced that causes undesirable performance and distortion of the output signal. Previously, researchers have proposed various schemes for compensating or eliminating dead-time. In this paper, a new dead-time elimination (DTE) scheme is proposed with a guarantee algorithm to eliminate dead-time and overcome the issues produced at the zero-currents-crossing point (ZCC). This method does not require additional hardware or filters to determine the polarity of the output current, and its principle is very simple to implement. The developed DTE method completely removes the dead-time issues on the magnitude and phase of the output voltage, and avoid the problems which can be induced around the ZCC. The results confirm the effectiveness and safety of this method.

Abstract

The integration of a Z-source network with a 5-Level three-phase inverter based cascaded to provide voltage step-up function is proposed in this paper. The system is controlling by an improved space vector modulation (SVM) the implantation of algorithm and innovative virtual automated solutions can be considered, very fast and very simple. The main objective of the proposed system is to achieve an output voltage twice the applied input voltage, and to eliminate the largest amount of excess harmonic. This proposed model is characterized by the ease of boosting the output voltage twice the input voltage, depending on the characteristics of the Z-source network without the need for a DC-DC rectifier. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm for this system is characterized by improving the output voltage and eliminating a large number of harmonics while greatly simplifying the calculations compared to its conventional SVM. This makes the proposed system and its algorithm an interesting alternative to classical systems and algorithms. The simulation was processed using MATLAB/Simulink. The results obtained prove and verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. From the results, of the output current total harmonic distortion (THD), it was reduced to 1.05% which is very low compared to the other algorithms in the literature.
