Abstract

The paper proposes the application of PV system for uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The PV system is composed of a novel single-phase PWM voltage source inverter (VSI). Composite PWM method is achieved by a circuit configuration consisting of the normal single-phase bridge circuit and an additional arm, which contributes to reduce the ripple in the AC output current. The VSI has a LC series-resonance circuit tuned to twice the utility frequency connected in parallel with the smoothing capacitor. The series-resonance circuit absorbs the double-frequency AC components included in the DC pulsated current. Hence, the smoothing capacitor is drastically reduced. A storage battery is added on the DC side in order to stabilize DC voltage. The VSI is easily changed from inverter action to rectifier action by changing the firing angle α from plus to minus. When α is minus, the VSI acts as a battery charger.
