Abstract

         This paper presents an application of a new circuit configuration of H-bridge based five-level current-source inverter (CSI) used for grid connected photovoltaics system. In this topology, the intermediate level currents of the five-level current waveform are generated by connecting DC current module to the H-bridge CSI. Some new features can be derived using this new topology such as reducing the switching power device count, and reducing the inductor conduction losses of the inverter. The proposed five-level CSI is tested for grid connected photovoltaic system through computer simulation using PSIM software. Furthermore, the experimental test results of the proposed five-level CSI are presented. The results show that the inverter works properly generating a five-level current waveform and injecting a sinusoidal current into power grid with less harmonics distortion and with unity power factor operation.

Abstract

This paper presents another circuit configuration of single-phase hybrid five-level voltage-source inverter obtained from the H-bridge inverter and DC-voltage modules. Some features are achieved by using the proposed inverter configuration such as its modular structure and minimum number of the power devices required to construct the inverter circuits. The proposed five-level inverter circuit is examined through computer simulation using PSIM software. Furthermore, laboratory experimental tests were also performed to verify the prototype of the proposed five-level inverter circuits. The computer simulation and experimental test results shows that the proposed hybrid five-level voltage source inverter works properly to generate a five-level voltage waveform and sinusoidal current with low harmonics contents.

Abstract

In a high switching frequency operation of current-source inverter (CSI), a conventional way to obtain unidirectional power switches is by connecting discrete diodes in series with the high speed power switches, i.e. power MOSFETs or IGBTs. However, these discrete diodes will cause extra losses to the power converter. This paper presents experimental test results of high switching frequency five-level common-emitter CSI using the emerging unidirectional power switches, i.e. reverse blocking (RB)-IGBTs. Experimental tests were also conducted to compare the performance between power MOSFETs in series with the discrete diodes, and the RB-IGBTs having inherent reverse blocking capability. The results show that using RB-IGBTs, the efficiency of the power converter increase. However, it is also confirmed that the recently available RB-IGBTs have slow reverse recovery current than the discrete fast-recovery diodes connected in series with power MOSFETs.
