With the rapid development of clean energy, photovoltaic (PV) generation has been utilized in the harmonic compensation of power systems. This paper presents a novel multi-function PV micro-inverter with three stages (pseudo-two-stage). It can inject active power and compensate harmonic currents in the power grid at the same time. In order to keep the micro-inverter working under the maximum allowable output power, an optimized capacity limitation strategy is presented. Moreover, the harmonic compensation can be adjusted according to the customized requirements of power quality. Additionally, a phase shedding strategy in the DC/DC stage is introduced to improve the efficiency of parallel Boost converters in a wide range. Compared with existing capacity limitation methods, the proposed strategy shows better performance and energy efficiency. Simulations and experiments verify the feasibility of the micro-inverter and the effectiveness of the strategy.

본 논문에서는 가정용으로 사용하는 3kW 무변압기형 태양광 발전용 인버터에 대하여 설명한다. 지금까지 국내에서 생산되고 있는 태양광 발전용 인버터는 외산을 제외하고는 상용 주파수의 변압기를 장착한 형태로서 계통에 안정적이고 제어가 간단하지만 부피가 크고 무게가 무겁고, 또한 태양전지의 입력 전압 범위가 좁다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 승압형 DC-DC 컨버터를 추가하여, 변압기 없이 컨버터와 인버터로 구성된 시스템을 소개하고 구성 및 특성에 대해서 알아본다.

This study presents an extended boost single-phase qZ-source DC-AC inverter for a single-phase photovoltaic system. Unlike the previously proposed single-phase qZ-source and semi-qZ-source inverters that achieve the same output voltage as that of the traditional voltage-fed full-bridge inverter, the proposed inverter can obtain higher output than input voltage. The proposed inverter also shares a common ground between DC input voltage and AC output voltage. Thus, possible ground leakage current problem in non-isolated grid-tied inverters can be eliminated with the proposed inverter. A 120 W prototype inverter is built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed inverter.

본 논문에서는 효율 개선을 위하여 변압기를 구비하지 않은 계통 연계형 전력변환장치에서의 직류분(DC offset) 검출에 대하여 알아본다. 변압기를 사용하지 않음으로써, 교류 출력에 직류 성분이 혼입하여 계통에 유입되는 경우 직류 성분이 주상변압기 등에 편자 현상 등으로 계통이나 다른 수용가 설비에 고장을 일으킨다. 스위칭 등의 이상에 따른 직류가 계통에 유출되는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인해 보고 직류 검출하는 방법을 확인하도록 한다.

To invigorate the tapped-inductor boost (TIB) topology in emerging high step-up applications for off-grid products, a lossless snubber consisting of two capacitors and three diodes is proposed. Since the switch voltage stress is minimized in the proposed circuit, it is allowed to use a device with a lower cost, higher efficiency, and higher availability. Moreover, since the leakage inductance is fully utilized, no effort to minimize it is required. This allows for a highly productive and cost-effective design of the tapped-inductor. The proposed circuit also shows a high step-up ratio and provides relaxation of the switching loss and diode reverse-recovery. In this paper, the operation is analyzed in detail, the steady-state equation is derived, and the design considerations are discussed. Some experimental results are provided to confirm the validity of the proposed circuit.

An investigation into power conditioners that interface with photovoltaic array and utilities has been completed. The rating for this investigation is residential system(3-5kVA) that interface with a 220V single phase utility connection. As the result of this investigation, a 3kVA high frequency PWM IGBT inverter feeding a high frequency isolation transformer with a sinusoidal current wave was selected. The output of the transformer rectified with a diode bridge rectifier. four IGBT, used as 60Hz switched, reverse the polarity of the rectified current on every other half cycle of the utility voltage. Even though the high frequency link system used more power semiconductors, a net size, weight, and parts cost saving result compared to the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.
