High-power photovoltaic (PV) plants are usually constituted of the connection of different PV subfields, each of them with its interface transformer.

Abstract
High-power photovoltaic (PV) plants are usually constituted of the connection of different PV subfields, each of them with its interface transformer. Different solutions have been studied to improve the efficiency of the whole generation system. In particular, transformerless configurations are the more attractive one from efficiency and costs point of view. This paper focuses on transformerless PV configurations characterised by the parallel connection of interface inverters. The problem of zero sequence current due to both the parallel connection and the presence of undesirable parasitic earth capacitances is considered and a solution, which consists of the synchronisation of pulse-width modulation triangular carrier, is proposed and theoretically analysed. The theoretical analysis has been validated through simulation and experimental resultsFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
