A Comparative Review on Single Phase Transformerless Inverter Topologies for Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems

The uses of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverters are increasing day by due to the scarcity fossil fuels such as coal and gas. On other hand, their superior efficiency, lower cost, smaller size, lighter weight when compared with transformers, transformerless for low-voltage single-phase grid-tied systems have recently attracted more interest. However, there some specific challenges, especially leakage current issues, which must be adequately addressed ensure safety standards grid codes. A variety topologies has been presented in literature eliminate using decoupling or clamping technique. choosing an appropriate topology after comparison is challenging because each a unique set parameters. In this paper, authors selected common parameters simulated all eighteen well-known MATLAB/Simulink fairly analyze compare mode characteristics output addition, power loss distribution every switch was calculated better understand insight topologies.
