Performance analysis of a low-cost current-source 1-ph grid-connected PV inverter

Abstract: This paper investigates the design and performance of a 150 W single-phase current-source grid-connected inverter topology that is based on a PV array and DC link inductor acting as a constant-current source. The inverter is implemented using a single boost switch, an H-bridge inverter, and a CL output filter. The inverter output current is simply controlled using the boost switch and open-loop or feedforward control. The dark I-V configuration is used to simulate two series PV modules. Comprehensive test resu… Show more

“…Despite the advantages listed, the DC link (energy storage) inductor has, size, weight, copper loss, and cost issues to weigh up (shown in Figures 9 and 10). Figure 8 illustrates a block diagram , and current waveforms, of the 160 W CSI [35,36]. It comprises a DC link inductor and a single boost switch ( known as a waveshaper) which was modulated to produce a sinusoidally-varying unipolar PWM output current.…”

“…Una solución se basa en poner filtros a la salida del sistema que permitan mejorar su respuesta. Los filtros LC son los mas utilizados en la literatura [25,26], aunque en algunos casos se requiere una configuración más compleja.…”

“…Current-source inverters have been used in other power electronics applications such as active filters, motor drives and renewable energy applications [8] [9]. The advantages of this type of inverter are the good quality output currents and the fact of being robust [10]. The disadvantages are the bulky dc-link inductance, and the increased dc-link energy losses.…”
