ABSTRACT

The objective of this work is to design and build a novel topology of a micro-inverter to directly
convert DC power from a photovoltaic module to AC power. In the proposed microinverter, a
structure with two power stages, which are DC/DC and then DC/AC converters, is used. The
inverter is designed capable for future integration of battery as a buffer in between the DC/DC
and DC/AC converters. A novel MPPT algorithm is implemented and evaluated in the DC/DC
converter to optimize the solar panel energy production. The new method operates with an
efficiency of 99.23%, which is a 2.5% improvement on the standard method, and a response time
of less than 0.2s. A modification of designing the inductor and transformer using Litz wires is also
mentioned. The core using Litz wires may reduce the Eddy current effect and is 15% smaller than
the coil using a single conductor. In this research, the following approach is taken. A literature
review was conducted, to identify potential converter topologies. A topology for both converters
was selected by comparison of performance through simulations. Maximum Power Point
Tracking algorithms were also investigated, to select an appropriate control scheme. A design for
two converters was then performed, leading to a prototype for experimental verification.
