Abstract

A new DC/AC inversion for achieving an AC sinusoidal waveform synthesized by a series of quasi-sinusoidal pulses is described. A modified pulse-width-modulated (PWM) controller is presented for driving the power switch to operate in a forced discontinuous-conduction mode (FDCM) so as to achieve series-resonance in the power stage. The output power results mainly from the energy stored in the resonant capacitor and is independent of the number of the resonant quasisinusoidal pulses. Three dynamic conversion states including charging, resonant, and RC-discharging states are modeled and analyzed. Signal analysis for the composite AC sinusoidal waveform is conducted. A small-signal model for system performance investigation is described. A prototype of a 1 kW DC/AC inverter is examined by simulation and experimentation in order to assess the system performance
