Abstract
This paper discusses development of a suitable m—file code for generating required pulse signals for a power electronic interface (PEI)—a single-phase voltage source inverter. The code is composed based upon the conceptual idea of synchronverter. Synchronverter is one of the voltage controlled strategy used for controlling voltage and power, when these PEI circuits are used as the coupling circuit between micro-source and the grid. The data required for writing the code were taken from the results obtained from individual simulations of the power circuit and electronic circuit of synchronverter. The drafted code is then embedded onto a PIC micro-controller and is used to control the switching pattern of the single-phase inverter thereby validating the proposal.
