Abstract: The invention is an electrical power conversion apparatus for converting DC voltage to poly-phase AC current where the AC current is supplied directly to the electric utility grid for power transfer into the grid. The power conversion apparatus has two or more separate, pulse modulated, high frequency power converters per phase. The outputs of the power converters are summed at a common connection point substantially on the load side of the main pulse filter inductors. The high frequency pulse train of each separate power converter is skewed or phase delayed with respect to the other converters on the same AC power phase for the purpose of reducing the amount of high frequency ripple current injected into the electric utility grid.

Abstract: A control system for maximizing the power supplied by an array of solar cells senses the current and voltage produced and multiplies these to determine the instantaneous power. The array is tilted slightly in a first direction and the effect on the instantaneous power is noted. If an increase in power was produced, a further movement in the same direction is executed; but if the first movement produced a reduction in power, a movement in the opposite direction is executed. The process continues until no increase in power is obtained in either direction. Thereafter, the same process is carried out with respect to a second axis of the solar array.
