Abstract

Current source inverter (CSI) operates to output a specified ac current waveform from dc current sources. Talking about power quality, harmonics distortion of ac waveform is a problem of an inverter circuit. Generating a multilevel current waveform will have less harmonics content than a traditional three-level current waveform. In addition to non-ideal conditions of power switches, i.e. voltage drop in diodes, conductors or controlled switches, the performance of current controller applied in an inverter circuit will considerably affect the ac waveform quality produced by inverter circuit. This paper presents and discusses application of hysteresis current controller in the five-level H-bridge with inductor-cell current source inverter. The current controller performance was compared with the proportional integral current controller. Some test results are presented and discussed to explore the advantages of hysteresis controller in reducing the current ripple and harmonics distortion of output current.

Abstract

In a single-phase inverter system, parallel operation of inverters is a strategy to increase capacity, improve reliability, and increase the flexibility of the inverter system. This work discusses the basic operation of a novel parallel H-bridge current source inverter (H-BCSI) and H-bridge voltage source inverter (H-BVSI) operated in a grid-connected operation with isolated direct current (DC) sources equipped with power transformers. Each inverter circuit employed an independent current controller to regulate its alternating current (AC) output current. The proposed inverter system was tested for different operation conditions, and its characteristics were analyzed, especially for its harmonic profile. The test results showed that if the magnitude of the H-BCSI current was varied, while the H-BVSI current was kept constant, the total harmonic distortion (THD) value of load current was much lower than the THD values of H-BVSI current, H-BCSI current, and grid current, i.e., THD Iload ≤ 1%. This condition also occurred when the output current of the H-BVSI was increased gradually while the output current of H-BCSI was maintained constant. Moreover, a similar result was also obtained when both inverters’ output currents were varied simultaneously with the same value. The test results confirmed that the injected AC current of both inverters during parallel grid-connected operation worked well at unity power factor, and met the standards IEEE 1547 and IEC 61727, of which current THDs were ≤ 5%. The proposed grid-connected parallel inverter system worked, supplying a sinusoidal AC load current with high power quality.
