Abstract

This paper proposes a high performance single-stage inverter topology for the autonomous operation of a solar photovoltaic system. The proposed configuration which can boost the low voltage of photovoltaic (PV) array, can also convert the solar dc power into high quality ac power for driving autonomous loads without any filter. An MPPT circuit with parallel connection is implemented so that the part of the energy generated is processed by the dc–dc converter to supply dc loads. The line current total harmonic distortion (THD) obtained using this configuration is quite reasonable. The proposed topology has several desirable features such as low cost and compact size as number of switches used, are limited to four as against six switches used in classical two-stage inverters. In this paper analysis, simulation and experimental results are presented.
