Synchronization has gained attention in science recently. In electrical engineering, a power network requires generators and loads to be in synchronization. The increase in distributed dc power sources without sophisticated controls has made synchronization more difficult. This paper proposes a synchronous inverter designed for linking distributed power sources within a power network. The linka...

This paper presents a switching strategy for multilevel cascade inverters, based on the space-vector theory. The proposed high-performance strategy generates a voltage vector across the load with minimum error with respect to the sinusoidal reference. In addition, it generates very low harmonic distortion operating with reduced switching frequency, without the use of traditional sinusoidal puls...

Recently, multilevel inverters are more researched due to the advantages they offer over conventional voltage source inverters in grid connected applications. Passive filters are connected at the output of these inverters to produce sinusoidal waveforms with reduced harmonics and to satisfy grid interconnection standard requirements. This work proposes a new passive filter topology for a pulse ...

-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...

The PWM principle is used to control the output voltage of the three-phase inverters. There are many possible PWM techniques proposed in literature. Among these the space-vector PWM (SVM) method is an advanced PWM method and is possibly the best among all the PWM techniques for variable-frequency drive applications. The classical SVPWM which is used in the direct torque control of induction mot...

An adaptive hysteresis current controller for single-phase single-stage photovoltaic central inverters is presented. The designed controller is able to eliminate harmonic distortion and to control switching frequency and to inject the current into power grid with good power quality. The simulation model of the system is developed in SIMULINK/MATLAB environment. The controller is found effective...

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...

This paper studies microgrids where loads are supplied by parallel connected inverters controlled by decentralized active power/voltage frequency and reactive power/voltage magnitude droop control laws. The implementation of droop control laws for sharing of power between inverters has been known to present stability problems particularly for large values of active power/voltage frequency droop...
