IMPLEMENTATION OF NOVEL DC-AC CONVERTER

SUITABLE FOR PV GRID APPLICATIONS

INTRODUCTION:

As a result of high-technology development, the demand and the quality of

electric power are higher than before. Because of the advancement of
semiconductor, the specification of power device and power conversion technique
is promoted. One of the power converters which can transform dc–ac is called
inverter. Inverter is the inter medium which transmits power to other electrical
equipment such as uninterruptible power supply, servo motor, air-conditioning
system, and smart grid composed of renewable energy. To satisfy different
demands and characteristic of loads, the output frequency and voltage have to
change with different loads.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

It comprises a single-phase conventional H-bridge inverter, two bidirectional

switches, and a capacitor voltage divider formed by C1, C2, and C3. The modified
H-bridge topology is significantly advantageous over other topologies, i.e., less
power switch, power diodes, and less capacitor for inverters of the same number of
levels. Photovoltaic (PV) arrays were connected to the inverter via a dc–dc boost
converter. The power generated by the inverter is to be delivered to the power
network, so the utility grid, rather than a load, was used. The dc–dc boost converter
was required.
DRAWBACKS:

 Voltage stress of the power device also increases.

 AMOSFET is the appropriate component to operate at high frequency, but

power rating is not as good as IGBT.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In the proposed novel topology, an input voltage divider is composed of three

series capacitors C1, C2, and C3. The divided voltage is transmitted to H-bridge by
four MOSFETs, and four diodes. The voltage is send to output terminal by H-
bridge which is formed by four MOSFETs. The proposed multilevel inverter
generates seven-level ac output voltage with the appropriate gate signals design.
ADVANTAGES:

 Low dv/dt,

 Low input current distortion.

 Lower switching frequency.

Applications:

Un interruptible power supply,

 Servo motor,

 Air-conditioning system, and

 Smart grid composed of renewable energy
