Abstract :
Parallel operating systems of voltage source inverters with other inverters or with the utility source are sensitive to disturbances from the load or other sources and can easily be damaged by overcurrent. Thus extremely careful attention should be given to the system design of parallel operating inverters. Types of system configuration, control methods, and means of protection against failure are summarized, and several methods are proposed. Features and problems of these systems are discussed
