The Power Conditioning System is Power Transfer System which make array DC current to the Grid sinusoidal current. These are Low Frequency Transformer Inverter Type, High Frequency Transformer Inverter Type and Transformer-less Type. Low Frequency Transformer Type has a Excellent Isolation property, but doesn't have competitiveness in Size and Cost. Also High Frequency Transformer Type has a good Isolation property but there are many steps in Power transfer Switching. Nowadays, Transformer-less Type inverter change a transformer to DC/DC Converter which is small and cost effective. In this paper shown the DC/DC Converter Transformer-less Type multi-string inverter design and simulation. The Control Algorithm will be introduced and Simulation was accomplished.

A new inverter topology for single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems is proposed in this study. The proposed inverter offers a four-level voltage in its output terminals. This feature results in easier filtering in comparison with other conventional two-level or three-level inverters. In addition, the proposed four-level inverter (PFLI) has a transformer-less topology, which decreases the size, weight, and cost of the entire system and increases the overall efficiency of the system. Although the inverter is transformer-less, it produces a negligible leakage ground current (LGC), which makes this inverter suitable for PV grid-connected applications. The performance of the proposed inverter is compared with that of a four-level neutral point clamped inverter (FLNPCI). Theoretical analysis and computer simulations verify that the PFLI topology is superior to FLNPCI in terms of efficiency and suitability for use in PV transformer-less systems.

The number of transformer and the size of transformer in inverter using 3-phase transformer could be reduced compare with a multi-level inverter using single phase transformer. but still the 3-phase transformer inverter needs many switches. In this study, we proposed the isolated multi-level inverter using 3-phase transformers and common arm, in this paper. Also, using phase angle control method with switching frequency equal to output fundamental frequency, harmonics component of output voltage and switching loss can be reduced. Finally, We tested multi-level inverter to clarify electric circuit md reasonableness through Matlab simulation and experiment by using prototype inverter.

Due to merits cost and efficiency, the transformer-less type photovoltaic (PV) inverters have been popularized in the solar market. However, the leakage current flowing through a parasitic capacitor between PV array and ground can cause adverse effect in the transformer-less PV system. In this paper, a bi-directional PV inverter with high efficiency and low noise is proposed for the PV system with an energy storage device. The proposed inverter is a transformer-less type and performs the bi-directional power control between dc sources and grid with high efficiency. In addition, the proposed inverter can suppress the leakage current and obtain low noise characteristic. Finally, 3-kW prototype was implemented to confirm validity of the proposed inverter.

An effective method for reducing the harmonics in double connected modified current source inverter[MCSI] by switching taps on auto transformer is presented in this paper. The proposed system operates as like a 24 step MCSI by adding only tap changing auxiliary circuit which consists of several taps and static switching elements to the 12 step multiple inverter, which is double connected three-phase six-step MCSI with an auto transformer. The basic theories of the proposed inverter systems for analyzing the output waveforms are described. And to optimize the effectiveness of the harmonic reduction, the optimum turn ratio and the tap changing control angle of auto transformer are decided by digital simulation and its validity is verified by experiment. Although the construction of the proposed inverter is very simple, it is clarified that the output waveform of the inverter is almost the same as that of the conventional 24 step multiple inverter under the optimum condition.

As the renewable energy market grows, grid-connected inverters have been improving and expanding in several fields in recent years because energy conversion devices are the main components of solar systems. In this paper, a high-precision new grid-connected three-phase inverter system is proposed. The proposed system consists of a main inverter, a sub inverter and a transformer. The main inverter operates at a low switching frequency and high power and transmits power to the grid. A sub-inverter connected in series with the transmission line through a matching transformer operates at lower power than the main inverter to provide input values to the transformer. The transformer acts as a power supply according to the voltage compensation value. This study is based on the principle of operation of the UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) structure used to regulate power flow in AC transmission lines. The grid-connected inverter system proposed in this paper is implemented with high precision and high resolution. The proposed system was verified through its ability to enhance and ensure the safety of the proposed system through simulation and experiment.

The backlight inverter used in a laptop computer is investigated in this paper. It has been difficult for the electromagnetic transformer in the inverter to have a high efficiency and compact profile. In this study the piezoelectric transformer(PT) is used to reduce the loss and volume compared to the standard electromagnetic transformer. Comparison with the experimental inverter with the PT has been shown to validated the simulation program using the equivalent circuit model of the PT. A simple dimming control circuit was experimentally demonstrated and shown to have broad control.

Parallel combination of cold chathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) are widely used as the light sources of LCD TV backlight. Brightness uniformity is safisfied by using one transformer per one CCFL. Instead of using one transformer per oneCCFL, one transformer is used to drive 8 CCFLs by using differential driving method. A differential driving inverter with two transformers is developed to drive 16 CCFLs of 26' backlight for LCD TV. The brightness uniformity of $88\%$ was obtained by driving 26' backlight with the developed differential driving inverter successfully.
