Efficient Single Phase Transformerless Inverter For Grid-Tied Pvg System With Reactive Power Control

Abstract

Transformer-less photovoltaic (PV) inverters are the major functional units of modern grid-connected PV energy production systems. In general, two power conversion stages are required when low-voltage unregulated photovoltaic (PV) output is conditioned to generate AC power.

In this paper, the boost inverter topology that achieves both boosting and inversion functions in a single stage is used as a building block to develop a three phase grid connected PV system which offers high conversion efficiency, low-cost and compactness.
