SIMULATE AND ANALYZE DC/AC CONVERTERS TO IMPROVE POWER QUALITY USING SOLAR

Abstract

This paper presents a parallel topology of a modular photovoltaic inverter,
allowing a marked improvement in the quality of the output energy signal. This
is a feature of much interest in practical applications as it will produce an output
signal with very low harmonic distortions. In this contribution, we describe the
inverter, then the bipolar pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy, which will be
validate by simulation. Finally, some experimental results are exposed to
illustrate our work.
