Inverters for Stand-alone Operation


They have to provide constant voltage and
frequency to the loads irrespective of the actual
load profile.

In case of reactive loads they have to provide


and to absorb reactive power.

In hybrid PV systems, they should be able to


operate in a bi-directional mode. This means
that they should be able to recharge the battery
in case of surplus power at the AC side.

Inverter Principles
Basically, inverters convert direct current (DC)
into alternating current (AC) by inversion of the
DC polarity in the rhythm of the desired AC
frequency.
