    Abstract: A power converter for converting energy from a green power unit as e.g. a solar cell into energy fed into the commercial grid is described. The object is to provide a versatile modularized power converter with eased access to control of the power switches. Another object is to improve the electrical efficiency. This is achieved by using an independent controller on a DC/DC module and an independent controller on a DC/AC module, whereby the the two independent controllers communicate with each other and the outside world by means of a communication bus. Further, the DC/DC module of the power converter comprises a transformer which transfers energy from the DC/DC module to the DC/AC module. This design enables independent control of the modules and eases controllability of the power switches in order to suppress retroaction from pulsations generated on the mains when supplying energy to a single phase grid. Hereby the electrical efficiency of the power converter is increased.
