Conference Paper
This paper presents a low cost dual buck inverter with high efficiency without any reverse
recovery issues for the MOSFET. It is ideal for super junction Power MOSFET application, when
used for bipolar PWM in case of PV applications, the duty cycle will be around 50% at zero
crossing and there will be distortion of current. As low cost, high reliability, high efficiency and
low output distortion of alternating current are very crucial in the design of inverters. This paper
proposes a novel method for modulation of bipolar PWM, which will minimize the current
distortion at zero crossing and achieves low circulating current. The simulation results validate
the method.

The Fig.6 (a),6 (b), 6(c), 6 (d) all show the operating model
and equivalent circuits for the IB-PWM .During the positive
half cycle, the switches S1 and S4 will be switching and the
freewheeling current will pass through D2 and D3. During
the negative half cycle, the switches S2 and S3 will be
switching and the freewheeling current will pass through D1
and D4.
The simulation results for IB-PWM are shown in Fig.7.We
see that the circulating current is eliminated and switching
power loss is also reduced. But, the current in zero-
crossing region would have an obvious distortion, which Fig.6 (d) Freewheeling Interval during Negative Half
