Abstract:
A power converter including a three-input direct current converter capable of performing maximum power point tracking on three power inputs, a step down converter capable of voltage step down of the three power inputs, a bus capacitor and a balance circuit utilizing switches and transformers utilized to balance voltages of the bus capacitor, a three-level inverter capable of creating alternating current voltages for the alternating current grid, an output filter electrically coupled to the three-level inverter, a contactor capable of disconnecting the bus capacitor and the balance circuit from the alternating current grid, and a parameter sensor and a field programmable gate array controller electrically coupled to the power converter, capable of controlling a plurality of power switches based on at least one sensed parameters.
