ABSTRACT

What if we cannot use the stored power in a battery when we dont have power supply? Since
the energy stored in a battery is in dc form so to use this stored power in battery we need to
convert this dc form of energy to ac form. So here comes the concept of power inverters. The
devices which can convert electrical energy of DC form into AC form is known as power
inverters. They come in all sizes and shapes, from a high power rating to a very low power
rating, from low power functions like powering a car radio to that of backing up a building in
case of power outage. Inverters can come in many different varieties, differing in power,
efficiency, price and purpose.
This report is about three phase DC-AC inverter. Generally an inverter is used for high power
application such as induction motor, air conditioner and ventilation fans. This project is about
to control the sequence frequency of an induction motor using the three phase DC-AC
inverter controller. Three phases Inverter can be formed by three single phase inverters which
are connected in parallel. If the output voltages of single phase inverter are not perfectly
balanced in magnitudes and phases, the three phase output voltages are unbalanced. Here,
three phase output can obtain from a six MOSFET and six diodes.
DC-AC inverters have been widely used in industrial applications such as uninterruptible
power supplies, static frequency changes and AC motor drives. Recently, the inverters are
also playing important roles in renewable energy applications as they are used to link a
photovoltaic or wind system to a power grid.
