Abstract

Aim of study describes design and implementation of inverter that working by sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique for small wind generation. SPWM technique is used as a switching pulse for turning on and off MOSFET's/IGBT's to generate an alternating current waveform at the output of an inverter circuit. This inverter based PIC18f4431 microcontroller that used to induce a true sine waveform for conformity with loads. The use of this microcontroller yields enhanced operations, fewer system components, lower system cost and increased efficiency. The designed inverter is examined in a practice on many AC loads and is necessarily concentrated upon low power electronic applications like a lamps and a fan etc. the enhanced model can improve the inverter output wave form and reduce a total harmonic distortion in remarkable way. A finished design is simulated in Proteus and Simulink software to ensure output results which is verified in the laboratory.
