description This paper focuses on the steady-behavior of a differential boost inverter used for generating a sinewave AC voltage in rural areas. The analysis of its dynamics will be performed using an accurate approach based on discrete time models and Floquet theory and adopting a quasi-static approximation. In particular, the undesired subharmonic oscillation exhibited by the inverter will be analyzed and its boundary in the parameter space will be predicted and delimited. Combining analytical expressions and computational procedures to determine the quasi-static duty cycle, subharmonic oscillation is accurately predicted. It is found that subharmonic oscillation takes place at critical values of the sinewave voltage reference cycle, which can cause distortion to the input current and degrade the harmonic content of the output voltage. The results provide useful information for the design of the boost inverter to avoid distortion caused by subharmonic oscillation. Namely, the minimum value of the compensation slope and the maximum proportional gain of the AC output voltage controller guaranteeing a pure sinewave voltage and clean inductor current during the entire AC cycle will be determined. Numerical simulations performed on the switched model implemented using PSIM© software confirm the theoretical predictions.
