Abstract

The total harmonic distortion (THD) of grid current and leakage current are significant for transformerless inverters, as they impact power quality, efficiency, and compliance with grid codes. Monitoring and minimizing these currents ensure safe and reliable grid integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems while reducing electromagnetic interference. Therefore, in this paper, the analysis THD of grid current and leakage current is described. The bipolar pulse width modulation (BPWM) technology provides a stable common-mode voltage (200 V), fewer leakage currents (< 30 mA), and better system efficiency, compared to the unipolar pulse width modulation (UPWM) technique. To ensure the inverter complies with the IEC 61000-3-2 class C (THDi < 5%), the current control strategy should be considered during the design of the transformerless inverter. Therefore, this paper presents an implementation and evaluation of the bipolar hysteresis current control (BHCC) technique. In comparison to the BPWM technique, the BHCC technique delivers lower leakage current (0.007274 A), reduced grid current harmonic distortion (1.81%), and increased efficiency.

Abstract

Multilevel inverters have become the preferred choice for medium voltage and high-power applications due to their superior waveform quality, reduced stress on switching components, and overall enhanced performance. Among these, the cascaded H-bridge inverter stands out for its simpler control and modulation techniques, as well as its greater efficiency compared to other multilevel inverter topologies. This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMI) for five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, and fifteen levels, utilizing sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) in MATLAB Simulink. The proposed technique, the multi-sinusoidal reference, is implemented by comparing multiple sinusoidal wave signals with a carrier triangular signal, with the resulting comparison pulses used to control the inverter's switching. The output results indicate that as the number of levels in multilevel inverters increases, the total harmonic distortion (THD) decreases, and the output voltage improves.
