The inverter possesses the advantages of low switching power loss, low inductor power loss, low device voltage stress, and simple control scheme.
Thus, the novel inverter is intended to be used in applications whenever an ac voltage larger than the dc link voltage is needed, as UPS or even renewable energy supplies.
The second important observation is that the lower cooling loads than minimum rated power results in shifting inverter AC to on/off mode.
The simulation results show that a nearby rectifier will help the inverter by increasing its maximum available power, decreasing its susceptibility to commutation failure and improving its recovery following ac faults.
The results of an analytical study of the inverter show that, in this mode of operation, the inverter output characteristics are of the current-source type independent of the output voltage of the AC utility.
Through detailed analysis, the paper identifies several phenomena on the DC and AC-sides of the inverter, which would result in the inverter having an inferior non-minimum-phase transient response.
The CRC inverter not only gives an efficient voltage adjustment function, but it also liberates men from the task of treating reactive powers.
The experiment results indicated that the THD of the inverter output voltage is decreased considerably.
Moreover, by controlling asymmetrically the output capacitor voltages, the AC output voltage of the proposed inverter can be higher than the DC input voltage.
However, interaction dynamics in both the ac- and dc-sides might be yielded and affect the converter stability.
The multi-level inverter system is very promising in AC drives, when both reduced harmonic content and high power are required.
Hence, the inverter acts as a virtual synchronous generator with frequency regulation capabilities as seen from the low-inertia ac grid.
The inverters can also step down their output voltages like a traditional voltage-source inverter without compromising waveform quality.
Insufficient or excessive reactive power will cause fluctuations in the AC voltage, which will affect the safety and stability of the entire system in severe cases.
However, low device switching frequency operation leads to higher harmonic distortion of inverter output currents.
Furthermore, the inverter has reasonably low steady state error and fast response to reference variation.
over voltages in dc side and over currents in ac side of photovoltaic inverter may occur when the grid voltage dips, which may lead to the problem of inverter dropping from the grid.
Comparative results are captured in terms of inverter AC power output under different operating conditions and the solar PV system with micro inverters have illustrated better performance compared to central inverter in all types of operating conditions.
The proposed ac-ac inverter is attractive for low power (up to 250 W) high frequency applications.
