Özet

With the widespread use of renewable energy systems, the design and features of the power equipment used in these systems are gaining importance day by day. In systems involving solar and wind energy, we come across inverters that work synchronously with the grid for energy transfer to the electricity grid.

In inverter topologies, it is expected that the values that are critical for the network and important in terms of converter quality parameters such as harmonic distortion values, power factor and efficiency parameters are kept high, or the quality standards are complied with. Therefore, many different techniques and topologies are applied to correct for efficiency and other operating values.

The reason for the use of topologies at high power values is that there are rooms of the level numbers and different switching techniques in the inverters. In particular, the size of the level dimensions and the output harmonic values and the limitation of the filter limits used accordingly, together with lower switching and reduction losses, multilevel inverters provide many advantages both in terms of cost and performance.

In this study, diode clamped and active clamped T-type structures in the three-level topology, which is frequently used as a multi-level inverter, are considered and their efficiency and performance values are compared.
