Abstract

GaN-FET-based solar microinverter using a differential-mode inverter (DMI) topology is presented. Key features of the DMI topology and its switching scheme are outlined and how the GaN-FET technology affects the power-stage performance are narrated. Further, summary of the issues with grid connection are elaborated. Next, how the modular DMI can be scaled for three-phase inverter and energy-storage applications are illustrated. Finally, one manifestation of how the energy storage can be integrated using topology emulating the DMI is narrated.
