Abstract :
Multilevel Conversion systems have certain advantages that can be applied in renewable energy systems. To verify that advantages we are developing a re-configurable 1 kW prototype. Among the experiments that we have considered, a sliding mode control law can force this converter to behave like an AC Current Source. We model our converter like a set of Tibuck converters operating sequentially. Some experimental results are given.
