Performance analysis of PV fed single phase T-source inverter

This paper deals with performance analysis of PV fed single phase T-source inverter for a standalone system. The T-source inverter has an ability to perform DC to AC conversion and buck boost operation in a single stage. Compared to Z-source inverter the number of passive elements are reduced in T-network. The traditional voltage and current source inverters cannot provide such feature. Normally, the proportional integral (PI) control is commonly used in the stationary reference frame for current controlled inverters. However, it has two main drawbacks: inability to track a sinusoidal reference without steady state error and poor disturbance rejection capability. These problems are overcome by using proportional resonant (PR) controller. The performance analysis of T-source inverter is carried out with PI and PR controller. A simulation of Single phase T-source inverter is done using MATLAB/Simulink.
