This book was released on 2012 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed energy resources like solar power (PV Panels) are usually connected to the AC grid through a single phase voltage source inverter (VSI). The major drawback associated with single phase grid tie inverters is the double frequency component of the grid that appears on the DC bus link. Large electrolytic capacitors are generally employed in the inverters to eliminate the ripple component. However, their bulkiness and relatively short lifetime are motivational factors to replace them with small film capacitors. This paper presents a synchronous boost/buck based active power decoupling circuit in parallel with the dc-bus link capacitor and discusses the different types of control strategies implemented. Simulation results are presented for each control technique and it is shown that the ripple on the DC bus link is largely reduced due to inclusion of this circuit along with an expected extension of the lifetime due to the reduction in the amount of dc-bus capacitance used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses the design and implementation of micro-inverters for grid-connected single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems. Despite the existing research issues concerning Micro-inverters, they have recently become very attractive due to their modularity and capability of independent maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The complexity in the design of micro-inverters stems from strict grid connection standards and high expectations of compactness, large amplification gain, high efficiency over a wide range of operating conditions and excellent output power quality. Moreover, since micro-inverters are exposed to a wide temperature range, the reliability and life-time of this technology are major problems. The main limiting factor in the life-time of micro-inverters is the use of large electrolytic capacitors for power decoupling. New circuit configuration and control structures to design a compact and efficient micro-inverter with high quality and robust output power injection capabilities are introduced in this thesis. In the proposed topology electrolytic capacitors are eliminated, removing the obstacles in achieving a durable and reliable design. To achieve a compact design, the proposed micro-inverter consists of a soft-switching high frequency resonant converter at the input and a hard-switching lower frequency inverter with a high order filter at the output. Small and large signal models of the resonant converter are obtained to design controllers. A new optimal controller and a design method are also proposed for the inverter that yield robust performance with a high quality output in the presence of grid voltage harmonics, impedance uncertainties and frequency changes. Furthermore, using a new nonlinear control strategy, a direct instantaneous power control method is proposed to achieve fast active and reactive power injections into the grid without using the measurement or calculation of active and reactive powers. A comprehensive steady state analysis is carried out to arrive at a final design that ensures optimum responses for all operating conditions. Moreover, for all proposed controllers, stability analysis is performed to guarantee sufficient stability margins accounting for uncertainties and nonlinearities. Analytical, simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar energy systems based on photovoltaic (PV) cells have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their promise of clear and seemingly limitless generated energy. Solar energy systems based on micro-inverter architectures are gaining in popularity as they are less prone to shading and PV cell malfunction since each solar panel in a system has its own low power inverter. A number of micro-inverters are single stage flyback inverters that are based on the DC-DC flyback topologies. There have been numerous papers on the topic of how to improve the efficiency of dc-dc flyback converters but as far as improving the efficiency of dc-ac flyback micro-inverter is concerned, comparatively less investigation on efficiency improvement has been performed. A low cost technique for improving the efficiency of a basic dc-ac flyback micro-inverter is proposed in the paper. The proposed efficiency improving technique is based on a simple snubber, consisting of just a few passive elements. In the thesis, the flyback micro-inverter with the passive snubber is presented; the modes of operation of the converter are discussed as well as the design of the converter with the passive snubber. Experimental results obtained from a lab prototype are presented as well. A second novel technique for improving the efficiency of a s ingle stage flyback micro-inverter is also proposed. The technique is based on combining the simple passive snubber with a variable frequency control zero-voltage switching (ZVS) technique. In the thesis, the operation of the micro-inverter with both the passive snubber and the ZVS III technique is explained and the design of the converter is discussed. Experimental results obtained from a lab prototype are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the both the techniques.

Book excerpt: DC/AC inversion technology is of vital importance for industrial applications, including electrical vehicles and renewable energy systems, which require a large number of inverters. In recent years, inversion technology has developed rapidly, with new topologies improving the power factor and increasing power efficiency. Proposing many novel approaches, Advanced DC/AC Inverters: Applications in Renewable Energy describes advanced DC/AC inverters that can be used for renewable energy systems. The book introduces more than 100 topologies of advanced inverters originally developed by the authors, including more than 50 new circuits. It also discusses recently published cutting-edge topologies. Novel PWM and Multilevel Inverters The book first covers traditional pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverters before moving on to new quasi-impedance source inverters and soft-switching PWM inverters. It then examines multilevel DC/AC inverters, which have overcome the drawbacks of PWM inverters and provide greater scope for industrial applications. The authors propose four novel multilevel inverters: laddered multilevel inverters, super-lift modulated inverters, switched-capacitor inverters, and switched-inductor inverters. With simple structures and fewer components, these inverters are well suited for renewable energy systems. Get the Best Switching Angles for Any Multilevel Inverter A key topic for multilevel inverters is the need to manage the switching angles to obtain the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD). The authors outline four methods for finding the best switching angles and use simulation waveforms to verify the design. The optimum switching angles for multilevel DC/AC inverters are also listed in tables for quick reference. Application Examples of DC/AC Inverters in Renewable Energy Systems Highlighting the importance of inverters in improving energy saving and power-supply quality, the final chapter of the book supplies design examples for applications in wind turbine and solar panel energy systems. Written by pioneers in advanced conversion and inversion technology, this book guides readers in designing more effective DC/AC inverters for use in renewable energy systems.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar panels have been steadily increasing in capacity and decreasing in cost over the past few years. Given this context, and other incentives designed to increase renewable energy penetration, residential solar adoption is becoming more economically attractive. The solar AC module stands out amongst alternative residential solar technologies, for better modularity, higher efficiency, and ease-of-use. The Micro-Inverter (MI) topology bundled with the AC module then becomes a key factor in the overall cost, safety, and capacity of the system. The Flyback (FB) MI topology is a popular choice, thanks to its low component count and enhanced safety, but as modern residential solar panels trend towards 400 W and up, non-interleaved FB MIs, typically rated around 200 W, must become interleaved. Conventional FB MI interleaving is High Frequency (HF) interleaving, which adds a potentially bulky magnetic device to the topology. This thesis proposes and tests the application of an alternate topology, called the Isolated Manitoba Inverter (ISOMBI). The ISOMBI uses integrated magnetic devices and Low Frequency (LF) interleaving, to match the power rating of HF-interleaved FB MIs, without the extra bulky component. ISOMBI operating principles and analyses are disclosed, and an experimental prototype is constructed to test its ability as a grid connected power generator. The results show near unity Power Factor (PF), acceptable DC current levels and promising Total Demand Distortion (TDD). Overall, these results indicate that the LF-interleaved ISOMBI can be considered as a viable alternative to the HF-interleaved FB MIs in AC modules.
Download or read book Three port Micro inverter with Power Decoupling Capability for Photovoltaic PV Systems Applications written by Souhib Mohammad Ali Harb and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been realized using different architectures, starting with the string and centralized PV system to the modular PV system. Presently, decentralized inverters are being developed at the PV panel power level (known as AC-PV Modules). Such new PV systems are becoming more attractive and many expect this will be the trend of the future. The AC-Module PV system consists of an inverter attached to one PV panel. This integration requires that both devices have the same life-span. Although, the available commercial inverters have a relatively short life-span (10 years) compared to the 25 -year PV. It has been stated in literature that the energy storage capacitor (electrolytic type) in the single-phase inverter is the most vulnerable electronic component. Hence, many techniques such as (power decoupling techniques) have been proposed to solve this problem by replacing the large electrolytic capacitor with a small film capacitor. This thesis will present a quick review of these power decoupling techniques, and proposes a new three-port micro-inverter with power decoupling capability for AC-Module PV system applications.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents a novel current source converter topology that is primarily intended for single-phase photovoltaic (PV) applications. In comparison with the existing PV inverter technology, the salient features of the proposed topology are: a) the low frequency (double of line frequency) ripple that is common to single-phase inverters is greatly reduced; b) the absence of low frequency ripple enables significantly reduced size pass components to achieve necessary DC-link stiffness and c) improved maximum power point tracking (MPPT) performance is readily achieved due to the tightened current ripple even with reduced-size passive components. The proposed topology does not utilize any electrolytic capacitors. Instead an inductor is used as the DC-link filter and reliable AC film capacitors are utilized for the filter and auxiliary capacitor. The proposed topology has a life expectancy on par with PV panels. The proposed modulation technique can be used for any current source inverter where an unbalanced three-phase operation is desires such as active filters and power controllers. The proposed topology is ready for the next phase of microgrid and power system controllers in that it accepts reactive power commands. This work presents the proposed topology and its working principle supported by with numerical verifications and hardware results. Conclusions and future work are also presented.

Download or read book A Novel Single stage Inverter Topology written by Md Mahmud-Ul-Tarik Chowdhury and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inverters are considered key components to enable the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. These power processing circuits convert dc voltage into ac, and are needed in numerous applications, including residential photovoltaic (PV) systems. The state of the art inverters have several shortcomings such as limited voltage gain, low power density, high failure rates, and low efficiency. This thesis proposes a new inverter topology that can overcome the problems associated with most conventional inverters. The proposed inverter is a single stage configuration, and employs five semiconductor switches, in which one is operating at a high frequency and the rest are operating at the fundamental frequency of the load. The proposed inverter is capable of both stepping up and stepping down the voltage. This is a unique advantage over most state of the art single-stage inverters, which can either step up or step down the voltage. In the proposed inverter, a small capacitor transfers power from the input towards the output. The inverter is designed and controlled such that the required link capacitance is very low; therefore, film capacitors that have longer lifetime compared to electrolytic capacitors can be used. Unlike most conventional isolated inverters that use low frequency transformer (LFT), in the proposed inverter a high frequency transformer (HFT) can be used for providing galvanic isolation. This feature decreases the total size of the system. The proposed inverter can be modified slightly to offer soft-switching, which significantly increases the efficiency. In this thesis, the principles of the operation of the proposed inverter is studied, and its performance is evaluated through simulation and experiment.
