Special Issue on:

Modelling, Methodologies and Control Techniques of DC/AC Power
Conversion Topologies for Small- and Large-scale Photovoltaic Power
Systems
Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has great potential and can meet a majority of the global energy demand. The
exploitation of solar PV energy is expected to increase further in the near future. To harvest solar energy and to meet
the demand, the power electronics and PV cell materials play a major role. The power converters, especially the
DC/AC inverters, are essential components in the conversion and control of the PV energy to useful electric energy
with high efficiency and high reliability.
The prior-art topologies and control techniques have found acceptance in various industries.
The objective of this special issue is to develop high-efficiency DC/AC inverter circuit topologies with high power
quality and novel control techniques which are highly flexible and less complex.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

– Failure and reliability analysis of the capacitors in switched-
– A new design and modelling of DC/AC inverters
capacitor-based inverters
– Self-voltage-boosted DC/AC inverter topologies for grid-
– Voltage balancing schemes to balance the floating/flying
connected PV Systems
capacitors in inverters
– Decoupling microinverter topologies for PV module applications
– Decoupled active and reactive power control for grid-connected
– Transformerless inverter topologies with reduced leakage
PV inverter applications
currents and common-mode voltages
– Advanced control techniques of grid-connected PV inverters for
– Novel power converter topologies for multilevel waveform large-scale integration
synthesis (e.g., switched-capacitor cell)
