Abstract :
Among the various isolated inverter topologies for grid connection of the renewable energies, the differentialmode Ćuk inverter has several outstanding features. It has lower number of devices, which are low-side driven. It has lower high-frequency ripple on the both ac and dc sides. This paper introduces a new modulation technique intended to eliminate the power circulation by manipulating just one module at a time which leads to a better efficiency.
