1. INTRODUCTION
The applications of renewable energy sources are increasing widely. Among the various renewable
energy sources, solar energy finds many applications in standalone systems and distributed generation
systems [1]-[2]. Since the solar cell generates a low output voltage, PV system employs single stage power
conversion or two stage power conversion based on the requirement to improve its output voltage [3]-[5].
The traditional two stage power converters such as voltage- source inverter (VSI) and current-source inverter
(CSI) are either a boost or a buck converter and not a buck-boost converter. When any two switches of the
same phase leg are turned ON shoot through would occur and destroy the devices which is a major killer of
the converter reliability. The main circuit of VSI and CSI cannot be interchanged. The above mentioned
problems are overcome by the Z-source inverter with a single stage power converter proposed in [6]. The
Z-source inverter employs a unique LC impedance network to connect the converter main circuit to the
power source. Shoot-through zero state is possible with impedance network. The inverter bridge is equivalent
to a short circuit when it is in the shoot-through zero state. Without change the total zero- state time interval,
shoot-through zero states are evenly allocated into each phase, the active states are unchanged. Because of
this shoot- through zero state the DC link voltage of the inverter is boosted. As the voltage generated by the
PV panel purely depends on climatic conditions, this Z-source inverter provides a feasible single stage power

conversion. Various modulation strategies have been developed and applied to the Z-Source Inverter to
improve the voltage gain and reduce the harmonics [7]-[10]. Different topological developments of Z-Source
Inverter for various applications are discussed in [11]-[17]. Modeling, analysis and controlling of Z-Source
Inverter has been discussed in [18]-[20]. But the impedance network draws chopping current from the source.
This chopping current raises the semiconductor current rating and also complicates the maximum power
point tracking(MPPT).Second order LC filter can be placed before the diode D, to reduce high frequency
current ripple, but this increases the overall cost as well as resulting in dynamic and resonant problems. To
maintain smooth voltage/current across the DC source without adding the external LC filter, the new
topology of Z-source network named as Embedded Z-Source Inverter (EZSI) was proposed and analyzed in
[21]-[23]. The above literature does not deal with the comparison of sinusoidal PWM controlled EZSI fed
induction motor and space vector modulated EZSI fed induction motor.
2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF EMBEDDED EZ-SOURCE INVERTER
The two level voltage type EZ-source is shown in Figure 1 has its two dc sources each of Vdc/2 are
embedded within the X shaped LC impedance network. The impedance network is a symmetrical network it
is assumed that the value of inductances L1=L2=L and the value of capacitances C1=C2=C. The inductive
elements present in the network are used for filtering the current drawn from the two DC sources; this
eliminates the requirement of external LC filter and the size of the capacitor is also reduced [21]. As the
impedance network is added with the three phase inverter bridge circuit any two switches can be turned on
safely inorder to introduce the shoot-through or short circuit state.Since the current paths in DC frontend are
effectively limited by inductive element L1, L2 or by both.The inserted shoot-through exhibit the voltage
boosting capability, just like Z-Source inverter and can be proven with the gain expression derived from the
inverter-state equations during shoot-through and non-shoot-through states expressed by (1)-(4). The
non-shoot throuh state can represent any of its six traditional active states (i1 0) along with two null states
(i1=0) are solely determined by the modulation process.
Figure 1. Two level voltage type Three-phase Embedded Z-Source Inverter
EZSI has shoot-through zero state as in ZSI. The equivalent circuit of EZSI during shoot-through
state is shown in Figure 2 (a). The front-end diode D is reverse biased when the circuit is in its shoot-through
state. The equivalent circuit of EZSI for non shoot through state is shown in Figure 2 (b).
2.1. Active state
The inverter is operated in one of its six active states. The diode D is forward biased. The load and
the Inverter bridge is replaced by the current source as shown in Figure 2(b). (The switches Sx ≠ Sx‟, x = A,

2.2. Nonshoot-Through zero state
Inverter bridge is operating in any one of its two nonshoot-through zero states. Inverter short circuits
the load through either upper or lower three switches. The bridge can be viewed as a open circuit. The input
DC voltage appears across the inductor and capacitor. But no inverter output current flows to the load.
During nonshoot-through zero state the switches Sx ≠ Sx‟, x = A, B, or C; D = ON.

2.3. Shoot-through zero state
Shoot through zero state is possible by seven different ways. Without disturbing the active states,
shoot-through state is allocated into each phase within total zero time. The front-end diode D is reverse
biased. The inverter is viewed as a short circuit from its DC link. There is no voltage across the load but the
capacitor voltage is boosted based on the shoot through duty ratio. (The switches Sx = Sx‟ = ON, x = A, B,
or C; D = OFF. For time interval (T0)

expression is due to the existence of shoot-through states in the switching sequence of the three phase
inverter switches.

3. SINUSOIDAL PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
Many modulation techniques have been developed and applied to ZSI and the same can be applied
to EZSI also. In traditional sine PWM, three phase sinusoidal reference signal with 120 degree phase shift is
compared with the triangular carrier signal to generate the gating signals. When the magnitude of the
reference signal is greater than the carrier signal, the upper power switch in the respective phase is ON, the
reference signal is lesser than the carrier signal, and the power switch is OFF. The complement signals are
given to the lower switch of the same phase [9]. This is the maximum boost control method of sine PWM
controlled EZSI. In this method all the traditional non-shoot through zero states turned into shoot-through
zero states with six active states remains unchanged. The switching sequence for VSI is derived first, then the
shoot through states are allocated within the non-shoot through zero states without disturbing the active
states. Figure 3, shows the switching pulses along with shoot-through zero states. As all the non-shoot
through zero states are turned into shoot-through zero states maximum shoot-through time T0 and boost
factor B are obtained for any given modulation index M. The maximum boost control method introduces a
low frequency current ripple in inductor current and capacitor voltage [8]. In this method shoot-through zero
state repeats periodically in every n/3 degrees , with the assumptions that switching frequency is much higher
than the modulation frequency, the average duty ratio over one switching cycle can be expressed in [8] as

4. SPACE VECTOR MODULATION (SVM)
SVPWM is an advance computation intensive PWM method most suitable modulation technique for
variable-frequency drive system. SVPWM technique provides higher inverter output voltage to the motor
with lower harmonic distortion. SVPWM is a different approach from PWM modulation based on space
vector representation of the voltage in the α-β plane. Space vector concept derived from the rotating magnetic
field of the induction motor is used to modulate the inverter output voltage. In SVPWM technique the three
phase quantities can be transformed into their equivalent two-phase quantity either in synchronously rotating
frames or stationary frame. The voltage vector is used as the reference vector; this gives the advantage of a
better overview of the system [10]. In this proposed SVPWM technique, switching sequence for VSI using
SVPWM have been generated and then shoot through states can be allocated within the non-shoot through
zero states without altering the active state of the switching sequence.
The three phase PWM VSI is shown in Figure 4, In traditional VSI the switching variables
a, a‟, b, b‟, c and c‟ controls the switching of the power switches S1 to S6. When the upper switch is ON i.e a,
b or c is 1, the corresponding lower switch is switched OFF i.e a‟, b‟, c‟ is zero. Therefore ON and OFF
states of the upper switches S1, S3 and S5 determines the output voltage. The eight possible switching states
are represented as vectors in SVPWM, (V1 to V6) are active vectors, V0 and V7 are two zero vectors applying
zero voltage across the load. The eight possible switching states for the PWM VSI, with six active states and
two zero states are given in Table 1.

4.1. Device On/Off States and Corresponding Outputs of a Three Phase VSI
The vector representation of the phase voltages corresponding to the eight combinations can be
obtained by applying α-β transformation to the phase voltage. This transformation is equivalent to an
orthogonal projection of [a b c]t
onto the two dimensional plane perpendicular to the vector [1 1 1]t
in a three
dimensional co-ordinate system which results in six non-zero vectors (V1-V7) and two zero vectors
(V0 and V7). The non-zero vectors forms the axes of a hexagonal. The angle between any two adjacent non-
zero vector is 60 degrees. The zero vectors are at the origin and apply zero voltage to a three phase load. The
eight vectors are called basic space vectors and are shown in Figure 5. The reference voltage vector in αβ-
plane is shown in Figure 6. This is a two-dimensional plane transformed into a three-dimensional plane,
containing vectors of three phase voltages.

6. CONCLUSION
PV powered Embedded Z-Source Inverter fed three phase Induction motor drive is modeled
and simulated successfully with Sine PWM and SVM methods. FFT analysis was done and the details of
THD are presented. The simulation results indicate that the harmonic content with SVM is less than that of
Sine PWM controlled inverter fed Induction Motor Drive. For the same input voltage of 48 volts SVM
provides increased output voltage with increase in speed. The comparison results are presented in Table 2.
The drawbacks of this drive system are that it requires two similar PV-sources which increases the initial cost
of total drive system.The closed loop controlled induction motor system will be investigated in future.
