Abstract :
This paper describes the main inverter topologies intended to connect the renewable energy resources to the grid utility. It shows the circuit configuration of the fullbridge three-phase inverter, flyback inverter, Z-Source inverter and neutral point clamped inverter, and it also discusses their advantages and disadvantages for each application. At last, a list of non-common topologies that handle specific issues of renewable resources is presented.
