A single phase cascaded inverter consisting of two full bridges creates a five level AC output voltage. Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the five level AC output voltage. A single phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Multil Level Inverter (MLI) produces AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The purpose of voltage controller f...

A single-phase PWM inverter is presented to alleviate harmonic components of the output voltage and the load current. To keep the output voltage being sinusoidal and to have the high dynamic performances even in the cases of load variations and the partial magnetization in filter inductor, the modified digital predictive controller is designed and implemented on a prototype. The validity of the...

This paper deals with the implementation of cascade multilevel inverter-based STATCOM, which employs H-bridge inverter. The STATCOM system is modeled using the d-q transform, which calculates the instantaneous reactive power. In this paper, a power line conditioner using a cascade multilevel inverter is presented for voltage regulation, harmonic filtering and reactive power compensation (var). ...

Abstract: The quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) with battery operation can balance the stochastic fluctuations of photovoltaic (PV) power injected to the grid/load. This work proposes a new topology of the energy-stored qZSI to overcome this disadvantage and delivers the continuous power to the grid/load. The operating characteristic of the proposed solution is analyzed in detail and compared to t...

Solar energy based micro-inverters are becoming more popular. Each solar panel in a system has its own low power inverter, its possibility to shading and PV cell malfunction is less. The micro-inverter is the integration of inverter and PV module in one electrical device. Micro-inverters convert the DC power from one PV module (solar panel) to the AC grid, and are designed for an output power i...

This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) of a utility interactive three phase inverter (TPI) for a photovoltaic (PV) system at commercial level. The proposed model uses phase locked loop (PLL) to synchronize the TPI with the power electric grid (PEG) and performs MPC control in a dq reference frame. TPI model consists of a boost converter (BC), maximum power point tracking (MPPT) co...

The system was modeled in Matlab/Simulink® and ver...

The voltage source inverter (VSI) and current voltage source inverter (CSI) are widely used in industrial application. But the traditional VSIs and CSIs have one common problem: can’t boost or buck the voltage come from battery, which make them impossible to be used alone in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV/EV) motor drive application, other issue is the traditional inverter need to add the dead-ba...

unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. while traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...
