Abstract

Transformerless photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected inverters have become more and more popular in distributed PV power generation systems due to the advantages on high efficiency, low cost, and small size. However, common-mode (CM) current in the transformerless PV inverters can result in serious electromagnetic interference and insecurity, which will further reduce the reliability of the PV inverter systems. In this paper, an improved H5 topology, namely H5-D topology, is proposed, in which a clamping diode is added on the basis of H5 topology to eliminate the CM voltage fluctuation in H5 topology. Further, the PSIM simulation results of the H5-D topology and H5 topology are given and compared, especially, the performance of H5-D topology for CM current suppression is presented and analyzed concretely. Finally, the experimental prototypes of the H5-D topology and H5 topology are built and tested, and the experimental results validate the advantages of the H5-D topology. The proposed H5-D topology provides a new practical topology for distributed PV grid-connected power generation systems.
