    Abstract: The present article reports an analysis and investigation of direct AC-AC quasi-resonant converter. A bidirectional power device, whose switching frequency is lower than the frequency of the current passing through the load, is used for its realisation. A mathematical analysis of the processes has been made and comparative results from computer sim... Show More

    Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of two current control methods of single phase on-grid inverter- the hysteresis current control and the fuzzy logic hysteresis current control method. The aim of the paper is to compare the values of the main researched parameters of the on-grid inverter and to show which control method is more energy effi... Show More
