IGBT module inverter circuit design for solar photovoltaic power generation (1) Solar photovoltaic power generation harnesses sunlight to convert solar energy into electrical energy using solar arrays, specifically PV module squares.
IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is an electronic switch that performs the key functions to convert direct current from the solar cells to an alternating current in solar inverters. In the solar energy sector, when discussing inverters with many technical folks, the topic of IGBT is almost inevitable.
For solar inverter applications, it is well known that insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) ofer benefits compared to other types of power devices, like high-current-carrying capability, gate control using voltage instead of current and the ability to match the co-pack diode with the IGBT.
In addition, IGBT drive power supplies provide reliable electrical isolation so that the control system can not be affected by the interference often caused by IGBT. However, despite the several advantages, there are still some challenges to consider concerning the application of IGBT technology in power modules.
