Abstract

In this paper is presented a control method for single phase inverters connected to grid for wind turbines, using closed loop. This method of control is based on output voltage monitoring and as a result, generates a reference voltage for comparison. After comparison a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal is generated for control of the single phase inverter. The output voltage will be the same frequency as the grid. For design validation, simulation results will be presented for different PWM frequencies.
