Abstract:
A double-stage inverter apparatus for energy conversion systems (FIG. 1) and control method thereof, adapted to manage the operations of the on-board booster module so as to optimize the overall electrical efficiency of the system. Furthermore, the method according to the present invention allows the operations of said double-stage inverter to be managed when there is only one input channel, when there are multiple input channels called to operate both in parallel and also when there are multiple input channels called to operate independently from each other.
Abstract:
A DC/AC converter apparatus comprising: input terminals (10) to be connected to a DC power source; a DC/AC conversion unit (11) adapted to receive input DC electrical power via the input terminals and to convert the input DC electrical power into AC electrical power, the DC/AC conversion unit comprising two output terminals (12); two AC backup output terminals (14); a switch arrangement (13) adapted to selectively connect the two AC output terminals to the grid terminals and to the two AC backup output terminals; a control unit (16) associated to the switch arrangement and adapted to: drive the switches of the switch arrangement, sense when an AC voltage at the grid terminals is below a predetermined threshold; and automatically drive the switches of the switch arrangement in such a way to disconnect the two AC output terminals from the grid terminals and to connect the two AC output terminals to the two AC backup output terminals when the AC grid voltage is below a said predetermined threshold.
