1Introduction

Aninverterisanelectricaldevicethatconvertsdirectcurrent（DC）toalternatingcurrent（AC）;theconvertedACcanbeatanyrequiredvoltageandfrequencywiththeuseofappropriatetransformers,switching,andcontrolcircuits.Solid-stateinvertershavenomovingpartsandareusedinawiderangeofapplications,fromsmallswitchingpowersuppliesincomputers,tolargeelectricutilityhigh-voltagedirectcurrentapplicationsthattransportbulkpower.InvertersarecommonlyusedtosupplyACpowerfromDCsourcessuchassolarpanelsorbatteries.
