A Transformerless Photovoltaic Inverter With Dedicated
In this regard, this paper proposes a modular transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic multilevel inverter that realizes the individual maximum power point (MPP) of
As PV systems need an electronic interface to be connected to the grid or standalone loads, the PV market has started appealing to many power electronics manufacturers. Improvements in design, technology and manufacturing of PV inverters, as well as cost reduction and high efficiency, are always the main objectives, [see References 1, 2].
For this reason, the power converter, based on a dual-stage topology, has been investigated and experimentally evaluated for photovoltaic applications. The converter performs MPPT and grid connection by means of an ARM Cortex M3-based STM32F103xx microcontroller, which is proven to be well suited for such an application.
II. In the realm of photovoltaic (PV) systems, traditional inverters, also known as transformer-based inverters, have long been the primary technology. These inverters play a crucial role in converting the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels into the alternating current (AC) required by the electrical grid and household appliances.
The inverter current is transformed, using Park equations, in the two components referred to the rotating DQ reference frame of the grid voltage. These components, Id and Iq, are proportional to active and reactive generated power, respectively.
A single-phase grid-connected inverter, with unipolar pulse-width modulation, operates from a DC voltage source and is characterized by four modes of operation or states. Two modes take place during the positive load current period and two modes in the negative load current period, as shown in Table 6. Table 6.
Recently, new methods such as the PR (proportional resonant) current control method have been adopted to control the PV inverters with zero steady-state error and the possibility of selective harmonic compensation with low computational effort.
