Transformer-less grid connected inverter with two separate PV arrays while minimizing leakage current

Current invention presents a transformer-less grid connected inverter, capable of extracting maximum power from two PV arrays while ensuring minimum leakage current flow.

The Technology The grid connected inverter comprises

  • A first photo voltaic (PV) array and a second PV array.
  • A first set of switches and first inductor and second set of switches and second inductor.
  • Both PV arrays are operated simultaneously to fed positive sinusoidal current and negative sinusoidal current to grid.
  • The first PV generates positive sinusoidal current in positive half cycle by operating first set of switches.
  • The first PV array generates negative sinusoidal current in negative half cycle by operating second set of switches.
  • The second PV array generates positive sinusoidal current in positive half cycle by operating second set of switches.
  • The second PV array generates negative sinusoidal current in negative half cycle by operating first set of switches.
