offered demand. Sadly, the fossil fuels are ditched; alternative energies such as renewable energy sources are
becoming more popular. Still, the incapability of renewable energy sources to supply good eminence of electric
power electrical load in standalone mode and injecting sinusoidal current to grid in grid connected mode
needsanimproved characteristics inverter has been reported [1]. Hence, the main objective of inverter is very
important to select the best topology of inverter from the existing topologies [2].
A grid is a network of high voltage transmission lines which are used for carrying electrical power from isolated
sources to load centres, usually to distribute electric power to consumers.A smart grid (SG)offers a high-quality
opportunity for better power quality and reduces harmonics of the power circuits [3]-[4].The significance of power
eminence is considered from generator face, grid face and demand side. The issues of power quality and a load
management concept for minimising THD in distribution feeders has been well presented [5].This smart technology
leads to increase the accessibility of power supply. A SG construction with more strength and high efficiency in
utilization is on schedule worldwide. By using the current days information technologies, the SG is accomplish of
delivering power in more efficient directions.
The pulse width modulation (PWM) techniqueselection plays a key role for generation of inverter output. The PWM
refers to a method of carrying information on train of pulses and it is to be encoded in the width of pulses. The
PWM is applying to control the inverter output voltage with controlling the inverter itself by changing switching
periods of the inverter. Itis applied to control the modern power electronic networks. The basic idea is to control the
duty cycle of the switches so that the load gets a controllable voltage. The PWM techniques are the effective
methods to control the output frequency and magnitude. Various PWM methods for inverters have been
reported[6].The designed method can produce the desired output voltages from regulated and non-regulated input
voltage.
The traditional inverter topologies apply either a single common source or multiple dc sources. According to the
electrical isolation between the input side and output side, again the inverters are sub-divided into isolated and non
isolated inverters. The depending on the input dc voltage range over to the output ac voltage, inverters can be
possible for buck, boost, buck-boost inverters [8][9][10]].However, It gives the information about various schemes
to generate output at various voltage levels avoiding redundant switching states.All the active inverters can be
grouped in to three main modules namely Supply frequency transformer (SFT), High frequency transformer (HFT)
and transformer less structures.Different topologies of inverters have been executed and presented in [11].
A high voltage gain transformer is inevitable where there is a requirement to convert a low voltage DC to a high
voltage AC.nevertheless, there are a small number of problems in the conventional LFT which consists of a full
bridge inverter. In order to overcome the above pointed-out problems, in this article, a transformer with coupled
circuits based four switch inverter for grid application is designed. The structure of this inverter consists of
synchronous buck converter and push pull converter. The performance of the designed model is verified at
various loads operating conditions by making the MATLAB/Simulink.

A transformer is specifically intended for transferring power from one winding to another. Generally leakage
inductance is less in a mutual inductor as compared with the transformer. With coupled inductors, each winding is
still used for its inductance alone; although of course some coupling is being utilized else there would be two or
three separate inductors. The leakage inductance is less of a issue.
Mutual Inductance is where the magnetic flux of two- or more-windings inductances are linked so that voltage is
induced in one coil proportional to the rate of change of current in another. A transformer is a device made of two or
more inductors, one of which is powered by AC, inducing an AC voltage across the second inductor. The better
these two inductors are magnetically coupled, the more efficient energy transfer between them should be. Here it
connects two or more windings inductance by means of equal shared coupling. The electrical replica for this block
is as shown below in fig1.

The design of FSI consists of the dc-dc conversion stage which is coupled with a push pull arrangement by the
grouping of the push-pull and the synchronous buck converter is demonstrated as shown in the circuit diagram fig
2.The standard output voltage of the dc-dc conversion stage ie., Vc is a function of the duty cycle δ and input voltage
Vdc. It is expressed as (1)
VC = TON/TON + TOFF
VDC = δVDC. (1)
The duty cycle of the dc-dc converter is varied in a completely rectified sinusoidal manner so that Vc will be
obviously unidirectional sine wave of double the fundamental frequency (FF ) and high frequency (HF).
3.1.1 Mode 1
In this mode, the switch S1is switched ON for a period of half FF along with the continuous operation of the
switches S3 and S4, then a positive half cycle of the output voltage Vac is produced. During this period, the current
flow starts from Vc positive-p-b-S1-Vc negative with the continuous function of S3 and S4.Thus a input unidirectional
voltage is induced as alternating voltage ie., positive half cycle output Vac.
3.1.2 Mode 2
In this mode, the switch S2 is switched ON for the same period as S1, along with the continuous operation of S3 and
S4then the negative half cycle of the output voltage Vac is produced. Then, the current flow starts from Vc positive-
p- a - S2- Vc negative with the continuous operation of S3 and S4. Thus the unidirectional voltage which is appeared
across the mutual inductance is induced across the secondary as a negative half cycle of Vac. Thus a input
unidirectional voltage is induced as alternating voltage ie., negative half cycle output Vac.
Thus a input unidirectional voltage is made in to the sinusoidal alternating voltage by operating two switches S1
and S2 at FF and S3 and S4 are required to generate continuous HF switching pulses with the help of push pull

The design is to be executed in such a way that the output has to follow the lively changes in the duty cycle, so the
system becomes more robust for load current variations.
