Flyback converter based single-stage, microinverters are attractive solution for interfacing individual PV modules to the grid due to their low cost, high performance, ease of implementation, and galvanic isolation. In such applications, discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) of operation and interleaving techniques bring additional size and performance advantages such as eliminating reverse recovery loss, switching stress, EMI radiation, and improving efficiency. This paper focuses on performance evaluation of flyback micro-inverters achieving single-phase and interleaving operations with DCM operation. Design and implementation of 200 W single-phase and two-phase interleaved flyback micro-inverters are realized, detailed laboratory tests are conducted and benefits of interleaving technique are demonstrated.

Grid impedance estimation based adaptive controller design for back-to-back wind turbine power converters for stable operation in distorted and weak grid Temiz, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) This thesis involves grid impedance estimation based adaptive controller design for back-to-back wind turbine power converters for stable operation in distorted and weak grid. The study focuses on the low frequency harmonic elimination of injected current to the grid under distorted grid conditions and maintaining system stability under wide range of grid impedance values for Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) connected to the grid via LCL filter. To eliminate 5th and 7th harmonics of the injected current, a c...
Performance Evaluation and Selection of PWM Switching and Control Methods for Grid Connected Modular Multilevel Converters Ciftci, Baris; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2015-09-24) This paper focuses on the determination of suitable carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) switching and control methods for grid connected modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Characterization of various level-shifted and phase-shifted carrier based PWM methods are provided in terms of output voltage waveforms both for N+1 and 2N+1 level output phase voltages. Carrier based PWM method based control approaches are evaluated for MMC. Performances of different control methods are evaluated and compared f...
Optimal Design of Grid-Connected Voltage-Source Converters Considering Cost and Operating Factors Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2016-09-01) This paper assesses the feasibility of three-phase pulse-width modulated (PWM) three-level voltage-source converters (VSC), namely neutral-point-clamped (3L-NPC) and T-type (3L-T) as alternatives to two-level converter (2L-VSC) for low-voltage multimegawatt renewable energy grid-connected converter applications. For this purpose, a novel design algorithm that takes switching frequency, capacity factor, modulation index, PWM scheme(s), and converter topology(ies) as input is unveiled to provide the design st...
Performance evaluation and comparison of low voltage grid-tied three-phase AC/DC converter configurations with SI and SIC semiconductor switches Öztoprak, Oğuzhan; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis, as compared to silicon IGBT (Si-IGBT) technology, the advantages of using higher efficiency and faster wide bandgap silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor switches in low voltage three-phase grid-tied PWM DC/AC voltage source converters (VSCs) are investigated in terms of sizing, efficiency and economic considerations for MW-scale photovoltaic power plant applications. As the cost and energy efficiency of a VSC strongly affect the total system economics, this thesis proposes a design methodolog...
Performance comparison of passive series R and shunt R-C damped LCL filter for grid-connected inverters Temiz, Hakan; Demirok, Erhan; Keysan, Ozan; Turkay, Ali; Cetinkaya, Burak (2019-07-01) LCL filters are widely used in distributed power-generation systems to attenuate high-frequency harmonics caused by pulse-width modulation switching of grid-connected inverters. A resonance occurs due to the series-connected reactive components. In order to damp resonance effects, active and passive damping methods are used. Lower switching frequencies are typically preferred to decrease switching power losses with high-power applications. Thus, control bandwidth of the system is limited and implementation ...
