Abstract:
A power inverter control adjusts input power to track with output power to reduce energy handling requirements for an inverter DC bus. Input power to the power inverter circuit is measured and compared with a measurement of inverter output power. The comparison result is applied to a power factor correction circuit to adjust input power to track with output power, while obtaining a good power factor for the power inverter circuit. The energy requirements and ripple voltages or ripple currents on the DC bus are reduced, leading to a reduction in rating specifications for passive energy storage elements on the DC bus.
