Introduction
◉ Ever rising demand for electrical energy and depleting fossil fuel reserves
are compelling reasons to use existing resources more efficiently.
◉ New highly efficient power electronic technologies and power control
strategies are therefore needed to reduce energy waste.
◉ Different inverter topology therefore introduced to increase the efficiency
of PV systems.
4
Introduction
◉ Cascaded H-bridge inverter is the most attractive topology because of its
modularity, simple physical layout smaller no of component and higher
reliability.
◉ In addition the necessity of isolated dc sources makes this topology an
ideal candidate for PV application.
5
Problem statements
◉ Due to the existence of harmonics, the output of the inverter is usually not
an ideal sine wave.[3]
◉ As the number of switches increase , the THD in the output will decrease,
but the reliability will also decreases.[1]
6
Objectives
◉ We will try to use the pulse width modulation techniques and less
number of switches to reduce harmonics and increase reliability.
