A novel switching boost inverter applied to photovoltaic power generation system

摘要

This paper presents a new topology of the input current continuous switch boost inverter (ICCSBI) and a perturbation observation with hysteresis comparator method. Because the traditional inverter needs to join the dead time to avoid short circuit, the dead time will cause distortion of the output current. And the traditional inverter is not suitable for photovoltaic power generation because it is a buck converter. The ICCSBI structure improves the booster circuit, which refers to the Z-source inverter. It can get higher voltage than traditional inverter. Meanwhile, the ICCSBI not only retains the advantages of the Z-source inverter but also reduces the number of passive components. In addition, the hysteresis band comparator is added to the perturbation observation method to make the system better robustness at the maximum power point of the photovoltaic system. In the photovoltaic system, to ensure the output current stable, the current control method is added to the ICCSBI. Finial, the experimental results are presented to demonstrate the new topology and control method.
