Line-commutated inverter (LCI) power conditioning systems are applied in photovoltaics (PV) applications as a dc to ac energy conversion system. The inverter accepts dc power from the photovoltaic array in a manner that is compatible with array design characteristics. The dc power is then inverted to ac power and conducted to the standard utility service lines. In this way the power becomes availble to service customer loads or to the utility distribution system.
