3. Application Example: Solar String Inverter
In today’s solar inverter applications the goal is to achieve the last percentage of efficiency. This is only possible by using optimized inverter topologies with best-in-class power switches. The control of these topologies requires sophisticated pulse generation with symmetric, asymmetric, periodic and aperiodic shapes. In order to operate the solar module in its maximum power point, a fast and accurate simultaneous measurement of current and voltage is necessary. Low load conditions have to be managed in the same way as overloads and safe switch off. Furthermore today’s solar inverters are connected to the internet for remote control and data acquisition. The intelligent peripheral set of the XMC4500 offloads the CPU to safe enough headroom for computing both the hard real-time tasks and the heavy software communication stacks.
