7. Discussion of Computer Simulated
Results
The simulated results of grid connected DC-AC converter
system operated at switching frequency of 23 kHz regulated by
sine-referenced and static-band hysteresis of current
controllers were carried out in Simplorer software. The sine-
referenced current controller illustrated a better performance
characteristic than the static-band current controller. It has
smaller percentage THD of 1.0195% in Fig 7. The toothed-
like waveform of coupling inductor current of static-band
current controller is larger than that of sine-referenced current
band. The cleaned DC-AC converter current injected into the
grid utility under static-band approach in Fig.4 is 99.10A while
the current going into the grid utility under the sine-
referenced-band approach of Fig.7 is 75.12A. The spectral
harmonic spectrum display of the static-band current controller
is displayed in Fig.4 of high amplitudes more than that of
Fig.7.

8. Conclusion
An assessment of total harmonic effects on grid-connected
powered inverter using sine-referenced and static-band
hysteresis of current controllers has been presented, analyzed
and simulated in Simplorer software. From the Table 2, it is
observed that the sine-referenced current controlled method
offered lower total harmonics distortions, and higher power
factor than the static-band current controller. And because of
it, there are higher power losses in static-band current
controlled scheme than the second one. Moreover, the static-
band current method draws more current from the inverter than
the sine-referenced current controller. In other word, it stresses
inverter more than other method.
