Reversible power cell contributes to efficient light weight inverter

In this article, the authors present the design and realisation of a DC/AC inverter. The power cell described is reversible and thus enables the handling of highly reactive loads. A state variable feed-back study leads to the large signal mastery of the power cell. The adaptation of the feedback loop for load variations and source voltage variations are also considered. The article concludes with the presentation of measurements made on a breadboard realisation which testifies as to why this power cell and its control law become a focus of interest.
