Design of Novel HG-SIQBC-Fed Multilevel Inverter for Standalone Microgrid Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
The growth of distributed power generation using renewable energy sources has led to the development of new-generation power electronic converters. This is because DC–DC converters and inverters form the fundamental building blocks in numerous applications, which include renewable integrations, energy harvesting, and transportation. Additionally, they play a vital role in microgrid applications. The deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs) with renewable sources such as solar has paved the way for microgrid support systems, thus forming an efficient electric grid. To enhance the voltage of such sources and to integrate them into the grid, high-gain DC–DC converters and inverter circuits are required. In this paper, a novel single-switch high-gain converter (HG-SIQBC) with quadratic voltage gain and wide controllable range of load is proposed, the output of which is fed to a modified multilevel inverter for conversion of voltage. The overall performance of the newly designed converter and inverter is analyzed and compared with the existing topologies. A prototype of the investigated multilevel inverter is designed and tested in the laboratory. Development and testing of such novel topologies have become the need of the hour as the grid becomes smarter with increased penetration of distributed resources.
