The purpose of this work is to investigate an impedance source inverter (ZSI) and the analysis of its steady state in a range of different operating conditions. ZSI is being used to alleviate a myriad of issues that VSI and CSI have The shoot-through control approach that is utilized to generate pulses that are sent to semiconductor switches is directly related to the output voltage of the ZSI. Among the several techniques that can be used, the one that involves the least amount of complexity is the one that is used here. Voltage boosting and ZSI operation of the converter are only required when the input from the solar panel is low, because the dc input from the panel is not always stable; otherwise Typical PWM inverter activities will be carried out by this device.
