In this paper, a new space vector modulation technique is proposed for speed control of Induction Motor using Z-source inverter powered by a low voltage DC source. The zero states of conventional space vector modulation are used for boosting the DC-link voltage to the required level. The proposed SVM technique estimates the required shoot through period of the Z-source inverter to maintain the DC-link voltage constant at the desired level through capacitor voltage control. A 32 bit DSP (TMS320F28335) is used to implement the proposed space vector modulation method. The power structure and the modulation technique is well suited for electric vehicle application.
