The clean power is the resul! of a charge transfer method !hat is fundamentally different from the typical "dou conversion" process of a PWM device, which convebrtlescproewaetersfraomroAC to DC, stores energy on a DC bus, then ugh AC waveform from the DC bus. As the vnaarmiaebliemfprelieqs, the AC-link device transfers power from uency AC directly to constant frequency AC power, el iminating the DC bus. The voltage that is created "Kojenerasyon: Yüksek Verim, Temiz Çevre, Enerjide Yeniden Yapılanma" ARTICLE / MAKALE has a distinctly more sinusoidal quality than PWM waveforms, and thus requires minimal filtering to achieve the very low harmonic distortion levels necessary to export it to the utility grid (Figure 2).
