Abstract

Current source inverter (CSI) is a family of power converters which has been recently investigated for photovoltaic power conversion in grid-tied operation, due to the inherent boost capability and ease of control. This paper assess Photovoltaic three-phase Current Source Inverters by two different CSI topologies and space vector modulation commutation strategies. Different CSI solutions are therefore analyzed by means of numerical simulations and the results are compared in terms of ground leakage current and THD of the injected grid currents. Extensive simulation results show that the CSI7 topology can improve the common mode performance while at the same time increasing the efficiency of the conventional CSI, at the price of a negligible added complexity.
