In a power distribution system it is expected that the current and voltage values to be maintained constant both in terms of magnitude and frequency. However, distortion of waveforms as a result of non-linear loads connected to system is widely found in a form of harmonics. Harmonics are sinusoidal signals whose frequencies multiples of the fundamental frequency. The severity of harmonics content is commonly stated using Total Harmonics Distortion (THD), revealing the ratio of the Root Mean Square (RMS) values of all harmonic components to its fundamental component, and is expressed in percentage (%). The harmonics could engender undesired effects in some appliances. In this paper, an effort to minimize the THD value in an inverter design is described. Less harmonics were obtained using Buck-Boost Converter and Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Method. Analysis results showed a THD reduction of 4.58 % and 4.33 % for current and voltage respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
