Technical FAQs 4

What does a current source inverter do?

The current source inverter is responsible for converting the DC current from the PV panels into a controlled AC current. The control unit regulates the switching of the power semiconductors in the inverter to achieve the desired AC voltage and frequency.

What is a current source inverter (CSI) topology?

A promising alternative to the conventional VSI with its limitation is the application of a current source inverter (CSI) topology, as discussed in [3, 4, 5]. The CSI inherently filters the output quantities, i.e., inverter output voltages and output currents, mitigating the negative effects of high switching frequencies.

What are two-level current source inverters?

These are some examples of two-level current source inverters, but there are other variations and configurations possible. Two-level topologies are simpler than three-level topologies, but can produce a voltage waveform that is less smooth and has more harmonics.

What is a current source converter (CSC)?

Current source converters (CSCs) have been widely adopted in high-power applications such as high-voltage direct current and high-power medium-voltage (MV) drives. The pulse width modulated (PWM) CSCs enjoy superior performance with specific PWM strategy and have received increased attention in recent years.
