Abstract —There has been an increasing interest in transformerless inverter for grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system due to low cost, high efficiency, less weight, etc. Therefore, many transformerless topologies have been proposed and verified with real power injection only. Recently, almost every international regulation has imposed that a definite amount of reactive power should be handled by the grid-tied PV inverter.

According to the standard VDE-AR-N 4105, grid-tied PV inverter of power rating below 3.68kVA, should attain power factor (PF) from 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging. In this paper, a new high efficient transformerless topology is proposed for grid-tied PV system. The new topology structure and detail operation principle with reactive power flow is described. The proposed circuit structure does not lead itself to the reverse recovery issues which allow utilizing MOSFET switches to increase the overall efficiency. Finally, to validate the proposed topology, a 1kW laboratory prototype is built and tested. The experimental results show that the proposed topology can inject reactive power into utility grid without any additional current distortion and leakage current. The maximum efficiency and European efficiency of the proposed topology is measured and found to be 98.54% and 98.27%, respectively.

Keywords— common mode, converter, high efficient, leakage current, reactive power, transformerless.

I NTRODUCTION

Recently, the photovoltaic power generation system has been focused as one of the most significant energy sources due to the rising concern about global warming, and the increase of electrical power consumption [1]. The milestone of 100GW installed PV power all over the world was achieved at the end of 2012 and increased to 140GW at the end of 2013, and the majority are grid connected as shown in

Fig. 1 [2]. Therefore, it has been predicted that the future grid-tied PV system will play an important role in the regulation of the conventional power system [3].

In general, PV power generation system includes solar arrays and power conversion unit [4-6]. In most countries and

Share of grid-connected and standalone PV installation [2] areas, a line-frequency transformer or a high-frequency transformer has been utilized in the grid-tied PV system to create a galvanic isolation between the PV module and the grid. However, the use of line-frequency or high-frequency transformer makes the entire system bulky, costly, and less efficient. In contrast, transformerless PV inverter system has been drawing attention more and more for its low cost, high efficiency, small size and weight [7, 8]. The exclusion of transformer, and hence its isolation capability, has to be considered carefully. Because of the parasitic capacitance between the PV module and the ground, the fluctuating common mode (CM) voltage that depends on the topology structure and switching scheme can inject a capacitive leakage current [9]. The existence of leakage current increases grid current harmonics and system losses, deteriorates the electromagnetic compatibility and, more significantly, lead to a safety threat [5, 10, 11].

In order to solve the problem of leakage current, many dc-ac inverter topologies have been proposed [7, 8, 10, 12-

16]. Most of the inverter topologies described in literature and commercially available show the European efficiency in the range of 96%-98% [17]. Therefore, to boost the efficiency, some transformerless topologies use MOSFET switches because of its low switching and conduction losses

[7, 12, 18-21].

Transformerless topologies using MOSFET switches: (a) HERIC topology [20] (b) HB-ZVR topology [7] (c) H6-type topology [12]

The most attractive transformerless topology is the

Highly Efficient and Reliable Concept (HERIC) topology which is shown in Fig. 1(a). Two switches and two diodes are added in the ac side of full-bridge topology to decouple the PV module from the grid during the freewheeling period

[20]. As shown in Fig. 1(b), the topology which has been proposed in [7] replaces the two switches freewheeling branch with one bi-directional switch and four diodes. Yu et al. proposed a H6-type topology as shown in Fig. 1(c), in which two switches and two diodes are added in the dc side to decouple the PV module from the grid [12]. An extension of this topology has been presented in [21]. All the topologies can achieve high efficiency and low leakage current. However, recently almost every international regulation has imposed that a definite amount of reactive power should be handled by the grid-tied PV inverter. This is due to the problems of grid voltage stability. According to the standard VDE-AR-N 4105 which is updated in 2011, grid-tied PV inverter of power rating below 3.68kVA, should attain PF from 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging [22]. The topologies shown in Fig. 1 have been verified with real power injection only. The dependability of these topologies will be reduced if a phase shift between the voltage and current is occurred due to the low reverse recovery issues of the MOSFETs anti-parallel diode.

In this paper, a new transformerless inverter for single phase grid-tied PV system is proposed. The proposed topology can utilize MOSFET switches to boost the efficiency because the inherent circuit structure does not lead itself to the reverse recovery issues even when inject reactive power. The proposed circuit structure and detail operation principle with reactive power flow are investigated in section

II. The control system for the proposed topology is also presented in section III. It has shown that the proposed inverter can handle a certain amount of reactive power if necessary. Finally, the proposed topology is verified with a prototype of rated 1kW/50Hz for unity power factor and other than unity power factor which is shown in section IV and section V concludes the paper.

Operation principle analysis with reactive power flow

The switching pattern of the proposed topology is shown in Fig. 4, where S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 represent the gate drive signals of the switches S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6, respectively. The operation principle of the proposed topology within a grid period which is shown in Fig. 5 is divided into four regions that can be explained as follows:

Region I: In this region, both the grid current and voltage are positive. During the period within this region, S2 is always on, while S1 & S3 synchronously and S5 complementary commutate with switching frequency. There are always two states that generate the output voltage state of

State 1(t0:t1): In this state, the switches S1 & S3 are turned-on and the inductor current increases through grid as shown in Fig. 5(a). The inverter output voltage V

According to the above analysis, it is clear that the proposed topology can keep the CM voltage constant when inject reactive power.

OPOLOGY

The control system for the proposed topology is depicted in Fig. 6, which contains an orthogonal signal generator

(OSG) unit to calculate active and reactive power, two proportional integral (PI) controllers for active and reactive power control, a grid current controller and a SPWM generation block [3]. Based on the OSG system, the active power P and reactive power Q for the proposed topology can be calculated by using the following equation which is shown in Fig. 7 [3, 23, 24]:

OSG based power calculation

According to the single phase P-Q theory, the grid-in current reference can be generated by regulating the averaged active and reactive power [23, 25, 26]. Since the active and reactive power are constant in steady state, so to control them two PI controllers has been used as shown in

Fig. 6. The grid reference current can be derived with the help of OSG system in the following equation [23, 25]: i

In order to control the grid current, several existing control methods such as conventional PI, repetitive controller

(RC), proportional resonant (PR) controller, and deadbeat

(DB) controller can be adopted due to the capability of tracking reference signal without steady state error [27-29].

Since the PR controller has better performance of tracking the reference signal if compared to the normal PI and RC controller, it is selected to control the grid current for the proposed topology. The block diagram of the PR controller

The experimental waveforms of the DM characteristics are shown in Fig 9 for unity power factor. It can be seen that the grid voltage and the grid current are pure sinusoidal and achieved unity power factor. The total harmonic distortion is measured and found to be 2.5% that can meet the requirement of IEEE Std. 1547.1™-2005 [31]. Furthermore, in Fig 9, the inverter output voltage (DM voltage) has three levels as +V

ONCLUSION

This paper has presented a new high efficient transformerless topology for grid-tied PV system. The

1670

inherent circuit configuration of the proposed topology does not lead itself to the reverse recovery issues which allow utilizing MOSFET switches even though when inject reactive power, thereby increasing the overall efficiency. The

CM voltage kept constant at the mid-point of DC bus voltage, as a result, the ground leakage current is reduced considerably. The proposed inverter can inject reactive power into the utility grid with low leakage current and low harmonic distortion. Finally, to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed topology, a 1 kW prototype was built and tested. The experimental results verified the theoretical analysis. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed inverter is an attractive solution for grid-tied PV system.
