Why is a coupled inductor a good choice for an inverter?

The coupled inductor with larger inductance is beneficial to improve the inverter output current quality but instead of causing additional power loss due to the increased series parasitic resistance. Conversely, once the inductance is turned down, the part of the filter power loss caused by the growing ripple current becomes gathering.

What is the best coupled inductance for PV inverters?

The best coupled inductance can then be determined by observing the minimum power loss from Pc (EUR). It is observed from Figs. 6a and b that the best coupled inductances for 1.5 and 2.5 kW PV inverters are 3.58 and 2.92 mH, respectively.

How is inverter side inductor current derived?

Based on superposition rule, the inverter side inductor current is derived from two inputs (the inverter output voltage vinv, and the grid voltage vg ). Fig. 9. The schematic diagram of the inverter side inductor current feedback strategy.

Which inductor parameter should be chosen for power efficiency optimisation?

The coupled inductor power loss contributed by the ripple current and the fundamental current can be, respectively, predicted under various inductances and thus in favour of choosing appropriate inductor parameter for power efficiency optimisation.

Which controller is used in a pi inverter?

The controllers that are used are classic PI controllers and inverter is working in current control mode. A low pass filter is used for interconnection of inverter to the grid which is mainly LCL filter and depending on control way, there are four control strategies.

What is a typical inverter?

A typical inverter comprises of a full bridge that is constructed with four switches that are modulated using pulse width modulation (PWM) and an output filter for the high-frequency switching of the bridge, as shown in Figure 1. An inductor capacitor (LCL) output filter is used on this reference design.
