A Mobile Design of an Inverter Circuit based on Arduino and SIMULINK

Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, with the development of electric engineering, the majority of current civilian sources are portable, such as the battery. However, most of them are only able to output DC without a power inverter, so a power inverter must be applied. To realize the reduction of the volume of the inverter, this solution is based on the combination of MCU (microprogrammed Control Unit) and traditional inverter circuit, because of the limitations of the breadboard. The rationale is that by changing the state of thyristors with a certain frequency by input pulses from an MCU, the current direction flow is changed through the inductor. In this way, alternating currents are created. This design is first verified in SIMULINK, where the chosen MCU for physical construction is the Arduino series.
