In a utility interactive photovoltaic generation system, a PWM inverter is used for the connection between the photovoltaic arrays and the utility. The do current becomes pulsated when the conventional inverter system operates in the continuous current mode and dc current pulsation causes the distortion of the ac current waveform. To reduce pulsation of dc input current, This paper presents a Buck-Boost PWM power inverter and its application for residential photovoltaic system. The PWM power inverter is realized by combining two sets of a high frequency Buck-Boost chopper and by making it operate in the discontinuous conduction mode. In this paper, we show the Buck-Boost PWM power inverter circuit, its equivalent circuit and basic differential equations and the power flow characteristics are clarified when the proposed Inverter is interconnected with the utility lines. In conclusion, the proposed inverter system provides a sinusoidal ac current for domestic loads and the utility line with unity power factor

The line commutated inverter with GTO forced commutation is described in this paper. The presented circuit has one bypass GTO inserted in DC power side line commutated thyristor inverter. The extended commutation region with additional one GTO-commutation is clearly shown. Also, a new PWM pattern is presented to decrease the effects of harmonics for commutation. A criterion for designing the AC filter parameters to decrease harmonics of AC part is given. The simulation and experimental results clearly show that the proposed circuit can be adapted in the application of regeneration.

In this paper, a single-phase to three-phase PWM converter topology using a single-phase half-bridge PWM rectifier and a 2-leg inverter for low cost three-phase induction motor drives is proposed. In addition, the source voltage sensor is eliminated with a state observer which controls the deviation between the model current and the system current to be zero. The converter topology is of lower cost than the conventional one, which gives sinusoidal input current, unity power factor, dc output voltage control, bidirectional power flow and VVVF output voltage. The experimental results for V/F control of 3Hp induction motor drives have been shown.

In this paper, the authors propose a so-called new zero voltage switching circuit topology arts an improved PWM strategy. In order to minimize voltage stress in dc-ac high switching frequency power conversion, the proposal circuit is used as interface between DC sully and the PWM inverter. The new ZVS circuit provide PWM inverter with a short zero voltage period in the dc 1ink just before inverter switches operate. By using the proposed modulating signal (transformational sinewave) art carrier sinal (sawtooth ware), the amplitude of the fundamental component is increased about 15 percent more than that of a conventional sinusoidal modulating signal and triangular carrier signal, the switching tosses is reduced. Some simulative results on computer are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a DC-DC step-up converter and DC-AC inverter to be used in fuel cell generation system. Therefor, this paper, consists of an isolated DC-DC converter to boost the fuel cell voltage $380[V_{DC}]$ and a PWM inverter with LC filter to convent the DC voltage to single-phase $220[V_{AC}]$. Expressly, a tapped inductor filter with freewheeling diode is newly implemented in the output filter of the proposed high frequency isolated ZVZCS PWM DC-DC converter to suppress circulating current under the wide output voltage regulation range, thus to eliminate the switching and transformer turn-on/off over-short voltage or transient phenomena. Besides the efficiency of 93-97[%]is obtained over the wide output voltage regulation ranges and load variations.

The voltage-source inverters are normally equipped with an electrolytic capacitor in their DC link, however, the electrolytic capacitor has several disadvantages such as increasing size, limiting converter life and reliability. Therefore, several approaches for removing the DC link capacitor have been studied by the authors. This paper proposes a new voltage-source inverter without DC link components. To reduce waveform distortion of the AC source current, the current-controlled PWM-rectifier with di/dt feedback is introduced. The di/dt feedback gain and LC parameters are investigated by calculation for a 0.75kW induction motor driven by this inverter. The calculated AC source currents maintain nearly sinusoidal waveforms with a unity power factor.

In this paper, a novel proposal for a utility-interactive three-phase soft commutation sinewave PWM power conditioner with an auxiliary active resonant DC-link snubber is developed for fuel cell and solar power generation systems. The prototype of this power conditioner consists of a PWM boost chopper cascaded three-phase power conditioner, a single two-switch auxiliary resonant DC-link snubber with two electrolytic capacitors incorporated into one leg of a three-phase V-connection inverter and a three-phase AC power source. The proposed cost-effective utility-interactive power conditioner implements a unique design and control system with a high-frequency soft switching sinewave PWM scheme for all system switches. The operating performance of the 10 kW experimental setup including waveform quality, EMI/RFI noises and actual efficiency characteristics of the proposed power conditioner are demonstrated on the basis of the measured data.

The mathematical model of a three-phase voltage source pulse-width modulation (PWM) DC/AC inverter is non-linear, and in view of the traditional linear control strategy it can not meet the requirements of designing a high-performance inverter. What's more, when the loads are not pure resistive loads, the inverter further requires that the controller possess high-performance. This paper proposes a nonlinear control strategy for the inverter called Passivity-based Control. We can alter the inverter model in three-phase abc coordinate to two-phase synchronous rotating dq coordinate for establishing the port-control Hamiltonian (PCH) model for this system. We can control the distribution of energy in the system to achieve the control aim. Simulation results show that the passivity-based control method can make this system possess a level of high-performance that is both robust and dynamic.
