Abstract

This paper presents a family of cost-effective magnetically-coupled impedance source inverters for renewable energy systems. The inverters are derived from magnetically-coupled impedance source networks, featuring low cost and no ground leakage current when used in PV system. The numbers of required semiconductor switches is reduced. More important, the elimination of leakage currents makes it particularly suitable for high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) applications. A comparison among prior-art PV inverters is then performed. The Performances of the inverters are evaluated analytically as well as by simulations. The analysis and simulation show the superiority of the proposed inverter in terms of leakage current suppression and low cost.
