摘要
This paper presents a transformerless three-phase inverter designed for the integration into a special type of a photovoltaic (PV) module, which is capable of providing an output voltage of several hundred volts. The chosen topology, a current-source inverter, features a single-stage power conversion system that directly feeds into the grid. The principle operation and control is described, and a modified modulation strategy is proposed to attenuate common-mode currents. A robust and highly efficient laboratory prototype of a 250-W module integrated converter has been implemented and tested. Its compact and flat design allows the direct attachment to the PV module.
