Claim Text:
1. A power inverter combination, comprising: a half-bridge power inverter (power inverter) comprising at least one phase including a series connected first and second semiconductor power switch configured for receiving input power (Vin) from a power source having an intermediate node between said first and second semiconductor power switch providing an inductor current through an inductor, and a controller including input comparison circuitry receiving a measure of said inductor current having outputs coupled to first inputs of pulse width modulation (PWM) generation circuitry, and a predictive control block having an output coupled to second inputs of said PWM generation circuitry, wherein said predictive control block is coupled to receive a measure of a voltage provided by said Vin and of an output voltage at a grid connection point (Vo), and an associated memory which stores a current control algorithm configured for:
