A dc–ac voltage source converter has been proposed and
studied both theoretically and experimentally.
Due to the inherent nonlinearity, the sliding mode control
has been employed to modulate and control the proposed
converter, for linear and nonlinear loads, with converter experimental
results in agreement with those predicted theoretically.It is the authors’ opinion that the boost inverter is suitable
for applications where the output ac voltage needs to be
larger than the dc input and can offer economic and technical
advantages over the conventional VSI.
