INTRODUCTION
Employs a unique impedance network to couple the converter main circuit to the power source, load, etc.

Provides unique features which cant be observed in VSI or CSI It is an improvement on VSI and CSI, by minimising their disadvantages.

ZSI IN FUEL CELLS

The equivalent circuit of ZSI as viewed from D.C link is shown below:-

When the inverter bridge is in shoot through zero state, the equivalent ckt diagram is:-

Let L1 = L2 = L, and C1 = C2 = C.

So, Vc1 = Vc2 = Vc. Vl1 = Vl2 = Vl.

Vl = Vc, Vd = 2Vc, and Vi = 0. Let the switching cycle = T.

Time for which the inverter is in shoot through state = To

When the bridge is in non shoot through state, the equivalent circuit is :-

Vl = Vo Vc, Vd = Vo Vi = Vc Vl = 2Vc Vo. Vo = D.C source voltage. Now, average voltage of inductors = vl = 0.

(To.Vc + T1[Vo-Vc])/T = 0
So Vc/Vo = T1/(T1 To) Similarly [T1/(T1 To)].Vo = Vc. Which means Vc > Vo..

[T1/(T1 To)] = B, which is the boost factor due to shoot through state. The output peak phase voltage of inverter can be expressesd as Vac = M.Vi/2, M = modulation index.

Vac = M.B.Vo/2.
Vac = B*.Vo/2

So by varying M, we can vary the buck factor, or decrease the value of Vac.

CONCLUSION
The ZSI can boost voltages without additional stages, which increases the system efficiency. Since it is a single stage power conversion, it reduces the complexity of control techniques. It can also be used to reduces the output voltage. That means it can both amplify as well as attenuate the voltage. Consequently it reduces the cost of the entire circuit.
