This paper gives an overview of the main current control strategy for single-phase grid-connected inverters. The model of the power circuit is first discussed. Then, a classification of current control strategy in stationary reference frame follows. This is continued by a discussion of current control structures for single phase grid-connected inverters and the possibilities of implementation i...

Synchronization algorithms are of great importance in control of grid-connected inverters as an integral part of distributed power generation units such as photovoltaic systems. A new all-digital closed-loop phase-locked algorithm for the synchronization signals of three-phase grid-connected inverters is presented even considering seriously distorted and variable-frequency utility conditions. T...

-Because of the acute shortage of conventional energy resources, renewable energy harness is gaining attention. Voltage source inverter forms the interface to feed the power from the renewable source to utility. In order to increase the modularity of the system, the use of several parallel inverters of reduced rating is preferred. An effective control strategy to maintain the amplitude and freq...

A novel random pulse width modulator with varying switching frequency but constant sampling frequency is proposed for application in voltage source inverters for adjustable-speed ac drives. Harmonic Spread Factor is introduced for quality evaluation of voltage spectra of inverters with the random PWM. Realization of the modulator using the Texas Instruments' TMS320F240 DSP controller is describ...

Transformerless inverters are high efficiency inverters featuring high efficiency and lower size and weight. In this paper a topology based on H-bridge with ac decoupling scheme consisting of diode bridge and a switch with clamping to the DC midpoint is implemented. A 16V prototype of HB-ZVR inverter has been implemented in hardware using open loop control. The control pulses were generated usi...

Thin film electronics fabricated with non-toxic and abundant materials are enabling for emerging bioelectronic technologies. Herein complementary-like inverters comprising transistors using 6,6'-dichloroindigo as the semiconductor and trimethylsilyl-cellulose (TMSC) films on anodized aluminum as bilayer dielectric layer are demonstrated. The inverters operate both in the first and third quadran...

The DC/AC inverters are used in grid-coupled Photovoltaic (PV) energy fabrication systems as the power meting out interface between the PV power source and the electric grid. Compared to the grid-coupled PV inverters that have galvanic separation (either on the DC, or on the AC side),the transformer-less PV inverters have the advantages of lower cost, higher efficiency, smaller size and lower w...

Abstract: This paper presents a clock phase-shifting (CPS) energy balance control (EBC) method for cascaded half-bridge multilevel inverters in standalone solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It is based on the conservation of energy in each cascaded unit. By shifting the phase of the clock pulse of each cascaded unit, a staircase-like output voltage is obtained. The CPS EBC not only regulates the ...

Among multilevel inverter topologies, asymmetric Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverters have higher output-voltage levels than symmetrical ones. However, asymmetric multilevel inverters need pre-stage isolated and floating DC power sources, which make the system complicated and bulky. This paper is focused on solving the problem by using a single-core (magnetically-coupled) multiple-output forward-f...

Abstract Cascaded multilevel inverters synthesize a mediumvoltage output based on a series connection of power cells which use standard low-voltage component configurations. This characteristic allows one to achieve high-quality output voltages and input currents and also outstanding availability due to their intrinsic component redundancy. Due to these features, the cascaded multilevel inverte...
