Abstract

Micro inverters and portable power stations continue to grow in popularity, partly driven by the demand for more sustainable and flexible power solutions. The prevalence of both technologies could increase even more with the recent introduction of balcony-based inverters, which combine micro inverters with a small battery storage system.

This technical white paper outlines a new single-stage converter, known as a "cycloconverter," that makes implementation of the micro inverter and portable power station more efficient and smaller in size while also reducing cost.
