Abstract

A novel current source inverter system interconnected to the single-phase grid is proposed. It has the same construction as the conventional three-phase current source inverter that is interconnected to the single-phase three-wire distribution system. Though the proposed circuit has no output transformer, it can be equivalently performed as the single-phase double cascade inverter by diverting the pole transformer in the utility system. By controlling the appropriate scheme, the output currents can be obtained as the five-level waveforms and their distortions can be decreased sufficiently. It is applied to the interactive electric energy storage system with batteries and the basic discharging characteristics are discussed experimentally.
