In a conventional grid connected photovoltaic system employing centralized inverter with long strings connected across dc-link, the performance of the plant in terms of power generation and efficiency is not optimal especially during partial shading and/or panel mismatch conditions. To improve the power yield during such conditions, a splitmultistring configuration employing 3Level Neutral Poin...

The STATCOM is one of the shunt type FACTS controllers which can supply reactive power and improve bus voltage. STATCOM has advantages like transient free switching and smooth variation of reactive power. This paper deals with the comparison of five level and seven level based STATCOM systems. Usually DC output from the PV source is amplified using a single boost converter. The output of the bo...

This paper proposes a novel single-stage buck-boost three-Level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter with two independent dc sources coupled for the grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) application, which can effectively solve the unbalanced operational conditions generally appeared between two coupled independent PV sources induced by the unequal irradiation and temperature distribution. The proposed c...

The fly back converter has been widely used for multi outputs due to the simple structure and low cost in low-power applications. This paper presents a new multi output converter. It consists of a half-bridge inverter with boost converter in primary side and a fly back rectifier that is integrated with an auxiliary buck converter in secondary side. The boost converter is used to generate high v...

A circuit configuration of a single-phase nonisolated online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with 110-V/220-V input–output voltage ratings is proposed, allowing the bypass operation without a transformer even if the input voltage is different from the output voltage. The converter consists of an ac–dc/dc–dc three-level boost converter combined with a double half-bridge inverter. In this type...

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.59958 ABSTRACT In many DC-AC power conversions a voltage source inverter (VSI) along with an additional DC-DC boosting stage is required. To overcome this problem in VSI, a split source inverter is preferred. This paper presents a combination of boost stage and VSI stage as a single unit DC-AC power conversion named as split source inverter (SSI). The proposed topology requi...

This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) of a utility interactive (UI) single phase inverter (SPI) for a photovoltaic (PV) system at residential/distribution level. The proposed model uses single-phase phase locked loop (PLL) to synchronize SPI with the grid and performs MPC control in a dq reference frame. SPI model consists of boost converter (BC), maximum power point tracking (MP...
