Inverters are the key actuator in the control of AC microgrids, since they manage the power flows of both the generators and energy storage devices. In general, there are three types of inverters depending on the control strategy: grid feeding inverters, grid forming inverters and grid supporting inverters. Those inverters can be implemented with different hardware topologies, each one of them with advantages and disadvantages. This paper presents a synthesis of the inverter topologies widely used in AC microgrids. Moreover, this paper also describes the inverters architectures and main control strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
The article presents a paper which describes the elementary principle of operation of the main types of multilevel converters and its applications. It is said that classical frequency converter made up from a two level voltage or current source inverter has important drawbacks that injure the electrical system power quality and the behavior of the electrical apparatus fed by them. The study reveals that multilevel converter is the preferred choice for solving these problems.
