A Novel Method for Converting Alternative Energy for Use on the Grid

Learn About Harmonic Neutralization – A Novel Method for DC to AC Power Conversion in Large Scale PV Plants

Alencon Systems’ ground-break large scale PV inverter and power conversion system is based on a unique DC:AC switching methodology called Harmonic Neutralization. Harmonic Neutralization is a significant departure from the traditional pulse-width modification (PWM) method of DC:AC switching used by other PV inverters today. Alencon’s Patented Harmonic Neutralization methodology allows us to offer an inverter with significantly higher efficiency and power density at a much lower cost than other utility scale inverter products on the market today. This whitepaper explores how Harmonic Neutralization works in practice.
