Abstract

This paper presents a novel single-stage Microinverter topology using only two-power switches. The number of components count are directly proportional to the power losses, weight, cost and complexity of the design. Nowadays, conventional Microinverter without transformer having minimum of six power switches, while only three power switches involved in a Microinverter structure with the presence of a transformer. Thus, this paper proposed a novel Microinverter topology with only two-power switches to convert DC-voltage from Photovoltaic (PV) module to an AC-output. Modes of operation and current flow during each cycle are being explained. Variation of modulation index, irradiance and temperature of the PV module, the switching frequency and harmonic content of the proposed Microinverter are being analysed. A simulated model of Microinverter topology, employed only two power switches with a standard Unipolar Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) having 0.85% harmonic percentage; able to inject current to the load; have been successfully built and demonstrated through simulation based on MATLAB/Simulink, thus provide theoretical validation for further research.

Abstract

This paper discussed the topology development of a single-stage microinverter in grid-connected PV system. In general, the microinverter topologies can be categorized into four type of topologies:          1) Flyback inverter, 2) Double-boost inverter, 3) Derived zeta-cuk configuration and 4) Buck-boost inverter. Flyback configuration is widely used for single-stage microinverter which offers protection between solar panel and utility grid. However due to the bulkiness of the transformer, new arrangement circuit employ the Half-Bridge topology with film capacitor and microcontroller provide a good room for research and future developments to obtain greater efficiency and compact design of single-stage microinverter grid-connected PV system. Plus, there are several characteristics need to be taken care for future development of the microinverter technology.
