Abstract

Smart cities and smart homes have a larger number of devices requiring continuous electricity. An inverter circuit is often used to cope up with power failures. Such inverters can also be used in the period of high demand for power to reduce the load on the grid. On the other hand, utilizing renewable energy is an important aspect of sustainable development. A solar-powered inverter reduces the usage of grid power and makes efficient utilization of solar energy. Further, the inverter can be integrated with microcontrollers to work on predetermined time slots to substitute the grid power. This paper describes the design of a novel solar-powered smart inverter that automatically switches the power supply from the grid to the inverter during peak hours. It is designed to suit smart home requirements up to 1 kW and a holistic design is presented. The performance of the circuit is analyzed and compared with similar works in literature to show the improvements. Simulations and hardware implementations show that the proposed system ensures an uninterrupted power supply for smart homes.

助力物联网智能家居:可持续发展的太阳能智能逆变器

智能城市和智能家居需要持续供电的设备数量更多。逆变电路常用于处理电源故障。这样的逆变器也可以用在电力需求高的时期，以减轻电网的负荷。另一方面，利用可再生能源是可持续发展的一个重要方面。太阳能逆变器减少了电网电力的使用，实现了太阳能的高效利用。此外，逆变器可以与微控制器集成，以在预定的时隙工作以替代电网电源。本文介绍了一种新型太阳能智能逆变器的设计，该逆变器可以在用电高峰时段自动从电网切换到逆变器。它旨在满足高达1千瓦的智能家居需求，并提出了整体设计。对电路的性能进行了分析，并与文献中类似的工作进行了比较，以显示改进的结果。仿真和硬件实现表明，该系统可确保智能家居的不间断供电。
