 ABSTRACT

 This project proposes a dual mode inverter based hybrid converter that can
support grid tied mode operation to extract maximum power from the solar PV
source at all times.

 The ability of the proposed converter to produce both DC and AC output allows
flexibility of operation in environments where the grid may not be available.

 This type of home helps to reduce the power loss by avoiding unnecessary double
stages of power conversion and improves the harmonic profile by isolating DC type
loads to DC supply side and rest of AC side.
 EXISTING SYSTEM

A limitation of the existing micro-inverter topologies is the need for a large energy buffering
elements.

Conventional grid connected inverter uses high DC link voltage which will be the peak
magnitude of the line-line grid voltage.

For this particular purpose two stage conversions are required to boost up the DC voltage
and to invert it. However, this will increase the cost, size and loss of the system.

Passive power decoupling either makes use of a bulky DC link capacitance or an LC resonant
filters at the junction of the PV panel to absorb the power pulsation.
