Abstract

The increasing demand for electricity due to population expansion has led to frequent interruptions in electrical power, so there are backup power lines everywhere, especially in the sectors of education, health, banking, transportation and communications. DC sources are beginning to become widely spread in terms of low maintenance requirements, no need for refueling, and no pollutant emission in these institutions. The problems of DC systems are; losses in DC system components, and change in output voltage as loads change. This research presents a power system that generates 1760W AC power from batteries bank, the system consists of a twin inverter to reduce losses in switches and filters, and thus improving the efficiency and the power factor of the system, and fuzzy logic controllers to regulate the output voltage of the converter and inverter. Modeling and simulation in MATLAB / Simulink showed obtaining a constant load voltage with acceptable values of total harmonics distortion (THD) under different conditions of loads and batteries.
