Efficiency performance evaluation is presented by power loss analysis with the parasitic-parameters consideration of the components. Finding optimum switching frequency based on power loss analysis is performed independently between input and output sides of the converter. Finally, experiments using a scaled-down prototype are shown to verify the analytical analysis of the converter. The experimental results properly validate the power loss analytic analysis carried out in this paper with a maximum error of 2.04% at 1131-watt, 60 V battery voltage, and 140 V grid voltage. Maximum efficiency 96.97% is obtained at 301-watt, 130 V battery voltage, and 151 V grid voltage.

Fuzzy logic controls the motor voltages in a standard three-phase voltage source inverter or voltage source inverter (VSI). An open-ended three-phase machine and the grid form a series connection for the VSI. The proposed system is well suited for uses where frequency variation is unnecessary, such as with large pumps or fans. There is no requirement for a direct current (DC) source or injection transformer when conducting an electric mutual coupling The severity of the sag in the grid voltage that will prevent EMC from shutting down is proportional to the load on the motors. An increase in the voltage of the DC link may be necessary if the voltage is not balanced. A 1.5 hp four-pole induction motor was used alongside grid voltage disturbances to test the proposed compensator's ride-through capability. Grid's current analysis demonstrates that the proposed system does not require the addition of a passive filter to achieve low levels of total harmonic distortion (THD). Additionally, the control strategy, component ratings, and analysis of the converter's output voltage operating principle and pulse width modulation technique are covered.

Thus, the control algorithm of this research mainly focused on a half-cycle algorithm to design an enhanced digital switching control for fast synchronization using an FPGA. The control algorithm was developed based on zero-crossing detection (ZCD) and digital phase-locked loop (PLL) modeling techniques using the hardware description language (HDL) and a combination of digital logic blocks in Quartus II software, where the proposed switching was applied using the square-wave switching technique through a 300-watt full-bridge experimental prototype.

Instead of directly measuring the output voltage on secondary side, it is estimated through the measured capacitor voltage on primary side. Modified sine wave control of the full-bridge inverter is adopted to regulate the output voltage.

Consequently, it is crucial to maximize the use of the solar energy that has been captured as well as the PV system's generated electricity. Variations in solar irradiance affects the amount of electric energy obtained from solar arrays. For efficient extraction of electricity from solar PV systems, MPPT algorithms are required.
