The economical and environmental impacts of fossil fuels have
forced society to investigate sustainable solutions. The interest has
focused on the renewable energy sources since the green and clean
benefits. Consequently, investments in research and development in the
field of power electronics have increased proportionally, especially in
high voltage and high power grid-connected systems.
The distributed power generation (DG) systems are becoming
more common as the need for electric power increases because of
taking advantage of using different energy sources such as wind and
solar. A few examples are hybrid cars, solar houses or hospitals in
remote areas where providing clean, efficient and reliable electric
power is critical to the loads. In such systems, the power is distributed
from the source side to the load side via power electronic converters in
the system. At low and medium power applications, the task is often
left to single-phase inverters where they are the only interface between
sources connected to dc bus and loads connected to an ac bus. This
dissertation investigates the power quality improvements to properly
regulate the power flow between renewable source and the utility
network.
