Abstract— This paper presents a MATLAB / Simulink based design and performance of photo voltaic (PV) - based Impedance (Z)-source inverter (ZSI) fed Squirrel Cage Induction Motor (SCIM) drive. In this work, with the implementation of Z link to the PV-source system, there is no requirement of additional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) unit. The parameters of Z-source inverter are determined for boost control method for a fixed modulation index. A simple MOSFET/Diode based universal bridge has considered as inverter along with the impedance (Z) link of the ZSI. Performance of PV based ZSI is verified by connecting a constant speed squirrel cage induction motor drive as a load.

Index Terms— Photo voltaic (PV), impedance source inverter (ZSI), maximum power point tracking (MPPT), total harmonics reduction (THD), Squirrel Cage Induction Motor (SCIM), torque, speed.
