Abstract

This paper presents a new topology of three-level single phase photovoltaic (PV) and wind power hybrid inverter. It consists of three main circuits; they are a hybrid controller circuit, a charger circuit, a pulse driver and full bridge circuit. The inverter is installed in front of Electrical Energy and Industrial Electronic Systems (EEIES) Cluster, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Northern Malaysia. Its main energy source is a PV array and wind power generation. In this research, AC three-level waveform and square wave single phase PV and wind power hybrid inverter are developed and created by a microcontroller PIC16F627A-I/P and analyzed their performance comparisons. The result shows that the AC waveform which is formed by the PV and wind power hybrid inverter will effect on AC load rms voltage, AC current and current total harmonic distortion (CTHD), for a load of 20 W 220 V 50 Hz AC water pump, its AC load rms voltage and current are higher when the single phase PV and wind power hybrid inverter is formed as AC square wave than as AC three-level waveform, but the CTHD is lower when the single phase PV and wind power hybrid inverter is formed as AC three-level waveform than as AC square wave.
