Micro-inverters offer a unique ability to maximise solar energy yield and streamline the installation, operation and maintenance process of solar power generation, thus having huge potentials to drastically reduce the cost of solar electricity. However, performance limits have hampered their wider applications in the energy sector. This project aims to tackle the performance challenges of micro-inverters by developing a novel power-conversion architecture, a unified design framework, and a new control theory. The intended research outcome will be a new range of ultra-high-performance micro-inverters. This will promote greater solar uptake and maintain Australia’s leadership in the development of disruptive solar power generation technology.

微型逆变器具有独特的能力，可以最大限度地提高太阳能发电量，并简化太阳能发电的安装、运行和维护过程，因此具有大幅降低太阳能发电成本的巨大潜力。然而，性能限制阻碍了它们在能源领域的更广泛应用。该项目旨在通过开发新颖的功率转换架构、统一的设计框架和新的控制理论来解决微型逆变器的性能挑战。预期的研究成果将是一系列新的超高性能微型逆变器。这将促进更多的太阳能吸收，并保持澳大利亚在颠覆性太阳能发电技术开发方面的领导地位。
