As one type of the grid-connected photovoltaic energy conversion systems, micro-inverters (MI, also known as Module Integrated Inverters, MII) are typically designed for residential applications with energy capacities of 3-5 kW and less, in order to provide PV module level energy generation, plug-N-play operation, minimization of the shading effects occurring on the PV module, and flexibility of installation. For the micro-inverter system which can be designed employing variety of topologies, interleaving flyback converter with grid frequency operated DC/AC unfolding bridge is suggested, analyzed, and modeled. A 200 W single-phase flyback converter and 200 W two-phase interleaved flyback converter topologies are studied with respect to their efficiencies, harmonic isolations and load current regulations through detailed analysis, simulations, and laboratory experiments. In the hardware implementation, with the aid of a digital signal processor advanced control functions are implemented. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), vector based phase locked loop (PLL) for grid synchronization and grid connection, and grid current control for low harmonic distortion, in addition to the basic connection and protection functions are implemented such that a highly efficient and effective PV conversion system performance is obtained. Design and implementation of 200 W micro-inverters with single-phase and two-phase interleaved flyback converters are realized and detailed laboratory tests are conducted. As a result, correlation among the theory, analysis, simulations, and laboratory experiments is provided and the feasibility of MI systems is proven. .

Bay, Olcay; Ermiş, Muammer; Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, analysis, design and implementation of a three-phase 400V, 20 kVA Current Source Inverter (CSI) have been carried out for grid-connected photovoltaic applications based on the multi-string inverter concept. This inverter can be used in large scale photovoltaic (PV) applications by connecting many in parallel at 400V and coupling to medium voltage through a common transformer. The power stage of the inverter is based on the basic full-bridge CSC topology and each power semiconductor which mus...
Design and implementation of all-SiC MPPT boost converter for grid connected photovoltaic systems
Koç, Elif Tuğçe; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Output power generated by a photovoltaic array is prone to fluctuations during utilization due to varying solar irradiance exposure throughout the day and changes in cell temperature; therefore, maximum power point tracking is essential for overall system efficiency. For this purpose, DC-DC Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) Converters are used in photovoltaic systems connected to the grid in order to extract the available power. SiC semiconductors are favorable new devices that enable greater power convers...

Design and implementation of variable frequency sine wave output buck-boost inverter
Şener, Yunus; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
Conventional inverters have pulse-width-modulated output with a fundamental component at the desired frequency and magnitude. These converters are usually buck type and therefore the DC link voltage limits the maximum 3-phase output voltage magnitude. As a consequence, in motor drive applications field weakening is essential after a certain frequency of operation, as it becomes impossible to preserve the rated flux level. In renewable energy applications similar problems arise. When the DC link voltage fall...
