Candidate papers:

abstract: This paper presents the derivation of single stage single phase inverters by utilizing typical fourth order dc dc buck boost converters. Basically, these inverters contain two dcdc circuits which individually produce output of opposite polarity and are connected by using least possible number of semiconductor devices to generate bipolar voltage. In the beginning, four circuits capable of producing bipolar output voltage are derived, but eventually only two of them found suitable for a inverter system. Simulation and experimental results of some of the derived circuits are provided to check their operation ability.

abstract: When low voltage unregulated fuel cell (FC) output is conditioned to generate AC power, two stages are usually required: a boost stage and an inversion one. In this paper, the buck boost inverter topology that achieves both boosting and inversion functions in a single stage is used as a building block to develop a single phase FC based energy system which offers high conversion efficiency, low cost and compactness. The proposed system incorporates additional battery based energy storage and a DC DC bi directional converter to support the slow dynamics of the FC. The single phase buck boost inverter is voltage mode controlled and the DC DC bi directional converter is current mode controlled. The low frequency current ripple is supplied by the battery which minimizes the effects of such ripple being drawn directly from the FC itself. Experimental results from a 1kW prototype are presented to validate the performance of the proposed system.

abstract: In this paper, the results of a comparative analysis between single stage buck boost unfolding inverter and buckboost unfolding interleaved inverter are presented. The main goal of using the interleaved approach is to reduce the energy in inductances, and conduction losses in power transistors. Components design for interleaved inverter is derived. The results of the comparative study show the effectiveness of the use of the interleaved approach for the mentioned inverter in the reduction of energy in passive components, and conduction losses in semi conductive switches, thus improving the inverter efficiency, size and cost.

abstract: This paper proposes a single phase dual mode four switch Buck Boost transformerless PV inverter with inherent ground leakage current elimination. Via directly connecting the grid neutral point to the PV positive terminal, the common mode (CM) voltage is clamped to be constant by the DC link capacitor. Thus, the CM leakage currents are eliminated completely. Moreover, the DC link voltage for the proposed inverter is required to be only higher than the amplitude of the grid voltage, instead of higher than twice of the amplitude of the grid voltage for the half bridge based inverter. There are two operation modes for the proposed inverter: Buck mode for the negative half line cycle and Buck Boost mode for the positive half line cycle. Single stage energy process is achieved in both two operation modes for achieving high efficiency. The smooth mode transition is realized by the proposed dual mode dual carrier unipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) Besides, since this PV inverter only uses four switches and one main inductor, low cost is achieved by this inverter. In summary, the proposed PV inverter achieves low leakage current, high efficiency, high density, low cost, and non unity power factor capability. Finally, the simulation results verify the concepts and demonstrate the performance of the topology, the modulation and the control strategy.

abstract: Single phase voltage source bridge inverters usually suffer from low DC voltage utilization and power mismatch between the input and output sides. To tackle these issues, additional circuits and modulation techniques have been applied to the bridge inverters, but those methods generally add extra power electronics or complicate the control strategy. In this paper, a power decoupling method without additional power electronic components is proposed for a DC to single phase AC converter, which adds only a small film capacitor to the front end buck boost converter and the voltage source bridge inverter. The proposed topology is compared with single phase bridge inverter with active power decoupling based on boost converter to show its pros and cons. Simulation and experimental results verified the feasibility of the proposed power decoupling method on the two stage single phase bridge inverter with buck boost converter.

abstract: In conventional inverters, implementation of a transformer greatly enhances the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) which is counted to have a negative impact on the inverter output. In order to overcome this limitation, transformer can be replaced by buck and boost converters thereby making a transformer less inverter which will greatly reduce the THD and enhance the efficiency. In this paper, the design of a single stage buck and boost converters has been presented for photovoltaic inverter applications. The proposed design employs a single stage switch mode buck converter and a single stage switch mode boost converter. The converters are so designed that the boost converter provides an output voltage of 312V DC from 24V source while the buck converter provides an output voltage of 7.07V pulsated DC from 312V AC grid. The designed buck and boost converters are then employed to run a single phase full bridge inverter. The circuit is simulated using the PSIM software. The simulation results show that the designed buck and boost converters can be used to replace transformers from conventional inverter circuit to make low THD, highly efficient and cost effective transformer less inverter topology IndexTerms PSIM, Buck, Boost, Buck Boost, Single Phase grid tie Inverter ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

abstract: In this paper, a novel single stage single phase transformer less buck boost inverter is proposed, in which a reduced number of passive components is used. The proposed inverter combines the conventional buck, boost, and buck boost converters in one converter in order to obtain a sinusoidal output voltage. In the proposed inverter, the input DC source and the load or grid have the same ground. Therefore, the leakage current problem in photovoltaic (PV) systems is eliminated. Furthermore, the proposed inverter supports the bi directional power flow capability and it can inject reactive power to the load or the grid. The analysis, principle of operation, and modulation of the proposed inverter are introduced in this paper, where simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink models in both islanded and grid tied modes of operation are shown.

abstract: This paper proposes a novel highly reliable single stage buck boost inverter. It can be operated as grid connected and stand alone inverter. In a single stage, it can generate an output ac voltage higher and lower than the input dc voltage. The proposed inverter can be employed in grid connected single phase PV systems without injecting large dc current into the grid. In addition, it has no shoot through risk of voltage source or capacitor and can be operated without PWM dead time. Thus the proposed inverter is greatly enhancing the safety and reliability of the system. Further, it can use power MOSFET to obtain high efficiency and allows operation with higher switching frequencies without failure risk from the poor reverse recovery of MOSFET body diode. In this paper, detailed analysis, simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the operation and advantages of the proposed inverter.
