Can a parallel inverter work with multiple low-power voltage source inverters?
However, to achieve Parallel operation of multiple lower-power voltage source inverters modules, the output voltage has to be strictly controlled to sustain the same amplitude, phase and frequency, otherwise large cross currents (AC and DC) can damage one or more of the parallel inverters .
How circulating current flows between inverters?
The circulating current flows between inverters due to DC-offset voltage and fluctuation of AC output voltages. This strategy uses the fundamental voltage and phase droop scheme to allow the inverters to share their load currents and uses a DC-offset droop scheme in order to eliminate DC circulating current.
