Direct-drive wind power system needs a full-scale power converter to transmit the variable frequency electrical power to the grid. In order to improve the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability, the grid-connected inverter (GCI) should work at a unity, a leading or a lagging power factor. Traditional control methods are complicated and output waveform is distorted by dead time. This paper introduces...

It is popular that several photovoltaic modules connected in series used the same centralized inverter to transfer the energy to the grid.

But MIC needs big capacitor to reduce the...
