TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a 2-kW, 60-Hz, 450-V -to-240-V power inverter, designed and tested subject to the specifications of the Google/IEEE Little Box Challenge, which achieves a high power density of 216 W/in $3$ and a peak overall efficiency of 97.6%, while meeting the constraints including input current ripple, load transient, thermal, and FCC Class B EMC specifications.

TL;DR: This paper presents the theory and implementation of a distributed algorithm for controlling differential power processing converters in photovoltaic (PV) applications that achieves true maximum power point tracking of series-connected PV submodules by relying only on local voltage measurements and neighbor-to-neighbor communication between the differential power converters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-efficiency, high-power-density buffer architecture is proposed for power pulsation decoupling in power conversion between dc and single-phase ac. In the proposed architecture, the main energy storage capacitor is connected in series with an active buffer converter across the dc bus.

TL;DR: In this paper, a small-footprint differential power processing (DPP) converter is integrated into a micro-inverter system to improve its energy capture by recovering power losses due to sub-module mismatch.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a 2 kW, 60 Hz, 450 VDC to 240 VRMS power inverter, designed and tested subject to the specifications of the Google/IEEE Little Box Challenge.
