1. INTRODUCTION
Power electronic, there are four kind for power electronic device AC-AC, DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-
DC [1]-[5]. The AC-AC is called converter also the DC-DC is called converter, the AC-DC is called rectifier
and DC-AC is called inverter that device is using in this work [6]-[9]. Inverter, it uses to convert DC power
to AC power for any system [10]-[12]. The inverter is one of the parts of the renewable energy systems (wind
energy or the photovoltaic system) and has many industrial applications such as UPS [13]-[15]. Adopting the
pulse width rate to control the output voltage of the inverter through the stimulation pulses of the inverter
switch gates [16]-[21]. The inverter voltage changes with the change in load, so I found the need for a control
process to stabilize the voltage by controlling the inverter output (correcting and setting) according to the
load value [22]-[26]. The current study includes a reflector with a pulse width rate, and the study is using a
computer program that helps simulate the system designed for the current study. By setting different criteria
to study different cases to determine the response of the system. Moreover, to address instabilities within the
design boundaries of the system used and to reach the best model can give a high response and a short time.
