This paper proposes a novel, cost-effective grid-connected inverter for a domestic micro combined heat and power system. A high-frequency (∼12 000 r/min), high-voltage (∼425 Vdc) brushless dc machine is used as the generator. The output of the generator is injected into the grid through a novel grid-connected inverter, utilizing a digital algorithm for the implementation of a constant frequency hysteresis current control. This allows a simplified output filter with smaller components to be…
