2.2 Design Considerations

The design is composed of two parts: the DC side and the AC side.

The DC side has input voltage and current measurement circuits followed by a bank of electrolytic capacitors for handling the power ripple and full-bridge low-voltage primary side switches. The AC side has a half-bridge secondary side cycloconverter, filtering network, grid voltage, and current measurement.
