In this research work a 30 kW grid connected voltage source three-phase inverter with SiC MOSFET module has been designed and implemented, in order to work with a phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) maximum power point tracker (MPPT) converter, in such a way that these two converters compose a full system solution. The emergence of commercial SiC based power MOSFETs, which have short turnon and turn-off times, has enabled to increase switching frequency as compared to traditional Si based switching components. This circumstance was one the main motives of this thesis in the scopes of increasing the switching frequency, in order to reduce passive component volumes of inverter such as LCL filter and DC link capacitor volume, decreasing losses which leads to reduce the heat sink volume and having better efficiency. Designed and implemented inverter had been operated in the field with PSFB MPPT converter, energized by 23.75 kW total installed capacity solar arrays. Output characteristics had been investigated, and in the grid connected close loop mode various powers up to 22.32 kW had been transferred into grid. Inverter switching characteristics, drain-source voltage, unfiltered line current and zero voltage switching phenomenon were examined with the change of dead time and output line current. Total harmonic distortion had been recorded at various output powers, and a minimum THD value of 3.84% had been obtained at maximum output power of 22.32 kW. Experimental efficiency values was calculated from various recorded input and output powers. 98.55% peak efficiency at half of rated output power and 98% efficiency at peak output power had been obtained.

Design and implementation of a voltage source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering
Çetin, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, design and implementation of a distribution-type, voltage source converter (VSC) based static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) having the simplest converter and coupling transformer topologies have been carried out. The VSC STATCOM is composed of a +/- 750 kVAr full-bridge VSC employing selective harmonic elimination technique, a low-pass input filter, and a /Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium voltage bus. The power stage of VSC based STATCOM is composed of water-co...
Design and implementation of a current source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation
Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and development of the first medium power Current-Source Converter (CSC) based distribution-type Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) with simplest converter topology and coupling transformer connection. The developed CSC-D-STATCOM includes a +/-750kVAr full-bridge CSC employing Selective Harmonic Elimination Method (SHEM), a 250kVAr low-pass input filter at 1kV voltage level, and a Δ/Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium-voltag...
Comparison of Two-Level and Three-Level NPC Inverter Topologies for a PMSM Drive for Electric Vehicle Applications
Madan, Alican; Bostancı, Emine (2019-01-01)
Multidimensional comparison of two-level and three-level DC/AC converters for a 120 kW permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drive is carried out in this study. Comparison of two topologies with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) by means of output current THD, conduction and switching losses, thermal stresses on semiconductors and switching frequency limitation are investigated at various operating points. Electro-thermal simulation of both topolo...
Design and implementation of a voltage source converter based hybrid active power filter
Uçak, Onur; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and implementation of a shunt connected Hybrid Active Power Filter by the use of a lower rated voltage source PWM converter, and a series connected LC passive filter. In recent years, voltage and current harmonics have become a serious problem both in transmission and distribution systems, due to the widespread usage of non-linear loads such as diode/thyristor rectifiers, electric arc furnaces and motor drives. In order to obtain a better performance tha...
Design and implementation of a 200w microinverter for grid connected photovoltaic energy conversion system
Kavurucu, Semih; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
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 f...
