Abstract

Bypass diode Dual mode control High

A unique high efficiency photovoltaic (PV)
efficiency power conversion
system is presented. It uses partial sine

wave tracking for a pulse-width modulation

(PWM) boost converter as well as a full-
bridge inverter. The boost converter and
full-bridge inverter are connected via a
compact intermediate film capacitor (i.e.
non-smoothing DC link stage). PWM
switching is activated by a dual mode
