Summary
The existing model of LC filter integrated quasi‐Z source indirect matrix converter (QZS‐IMC) was derived using the DC circuit modeling method, which is mainly effective in DC circuit. As an ac circuit, the existing voltage boost ratio model of LC filter integrated QZS‐IMC exhibits a big error from the real boost ratio. Moreover, current amplitude and phase angle of QZS network were not considered in the existing model. This paper proposes a new comprehensive model of LC filter integrated QZS‐IMC taking into account the circuit's ac characteristics. The new model shows that voltage boost ratio is strongly related to QZS network inductance, capacitance, and frequency of input power supply. It can be concluded from the new model that the boost ratio is higher than 1/(1 − 2D), which is the boost ratio of existing model. Moreover, the new model shows that power factor affects voltage gain of QZS‐IMC system. The new model is compared with the existing model, circuit simulation, and experimental test. The results verify the new model and analysis.
