DC-AC Converter Fundamentals and Types

This document discusses different types of inverters that convert DC to AC power. It covers voltage source inverters (VSI) and current source inverters (CSI), as well as single phase half-bridge and full-bridge inverter circuit topologies. It also describes how pulse width modulation (PWM) can be used to control output voltage and frequency in VSIs with a fixed DC link. Application examples of inverters include UPS systems.

INTRODUCTION
DC/AC converters named inverters : Converts DC to AC power by
switching the DC input voltage (or current) in a pre-determined
sequence so as to generate AC voltage (or current) output.
Semiconductor devices used : Transistor , SCR, GTO
Input voltage can be a DC voltage source, fuel cell, or a battery. => feed
directly to converter.
Typical input values : 12,24,48 or 80V.

TYPES of INVERTER

VOLTAGE SOURCE INVERTER (VSI) CURRENT SOURCE INVERTER (CSI)


VOLTAGE SOURCE INVERTER (VSI) with
VARIABLE DC LINK

DC link voltage is varied by a DC to DC converter or


controlled rectifier
Output : “square-wave” voltage.
Output voltage amplitude is varied as DC link is varied.
Frequency of output voltage is varied by changing the
frequency of the square wave pulses.
VSI with variable DC Link
Advantages :
◦ Simple waveform generation
◦ Reliable

Disadvantages :
◦ Extra conversion stage
◦ Poor harmonics
VSI with fixed DC Link
DC voltage is held constant
Output voltage amplitude and frequency are varied
simultaneously using PWM technique
Good harmonic control, but at expense of complex
waveform generation

SINGLE PHASE, FULL-BRIDGE INVERTER –
R LOAD
Full bridge (single phase) is built from two half-bridge leg.
The switching in the second leg is “delayed” by 180° from the first
leg.
SINGLE PHASE, FULL-BRIDGE INVERTER – R
LOAD

The rms output voltage is given by : Vo = Vs


The rms value of fundamental component :
4𝑉𝑠
𝑉1 = = 0.9𝑉𝑠

𝑉𝑠 2
The output power is Po=

𝑉𝑠
Peak current : Ip=
𝑅

Average current of transistor : ID= Duty cycle x Peak current


EXAMPLE 1

A single phase inverter has Vs =20V and R = 0.5Ω.

◦ Rms output voltage at fundamental frequency
◦ Output power
◦ Peak current
◦ Average current for each transistor
