Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are widely used in industrial applications and renewable energy systems [1,2,3]. Their structure and control circuitry are simple. Therefore, most engineers like to use them. Many semiconductor companies produce VSI control chips to simplify control circuitry design. We introduce some typical VSI circuits in this chapter.
3.1 Single-Phase Voltage Source Inverter
Single-phase voltage source inverters can be implemented in half-bridge and full bridge circuits.
3.1.1 Single-Phase Half-Bridge VSI
A single-phase half-bridge voltage source inverter (VSI) is shown in Figure 3.1. The carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is applied in this inverter. Two large capacitors ...
