The recent trend in photovoltaic inverter is to use topologies with the absence of transformers to acquire higher efficiency. This gives very low ground leakage current. After the elimination of transformer in a grid/Load connected Photovoltaic (PV) system, a galvanic connection exists between the grid/Load and the PV array. The different inverter topology that generates no varying common-mode voltage is proposed to avoid leakage currents, this proposes a new topology with six switches and two diodes that generates no varying common-mode voltage and exhibits high efficiency

Abstract


The recent trend in photovoltaic inverter is to use topologies with the absence of transformers to acquire higher efficiency. This gives very low ground leakage current. After the elimination of transformer in a grid/Load connected Photovoltaic (PV) system, a galvanic connection exists between the grid/Load and the PV array. The different inverter topology that generates no varying common-mode voltage is proposed to avoid leakage currents, this proposes a new topology with six switches and two diodes that generates no varying common-mode voltage and exhibits high efficiency
