Abstract
In this paper, the design, realization, and performance evaluation of a single-phase 3-kW dc/ac power converter, using an active-bridge dc/dc converter and a full-bridge dc/ac, are introduced, presenting a novel solution on the industrial scenario for the considered application. Control algorithms, including the maximum power point tracking, paralleling to the grid, and converter switching signals, are digitally implemented on a standard microcontroller.
