Abstract

This paper proposes a novel single-phase transformerless 5-level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. The main advantages of the proposed inverter are 1) By direct connecting the neutral point of the grid to the negative terminal of the PV, this inverter can eliminate the leakage current; 2) It can boost the input voltage; 3) It does not suffer from the current spike. 4) This inverter has an excellent capacity to conduct the reverse current as well as an acceptable output waveform spectrum. The first stage of the proposed circuit consists of two inductance, which makes a boost or buck-boost converter in each half-cycle. Therefore, the capacitor of the converter circuit can be used as the virtual dc source in the inverter stage, which decreases the size and cost of the proposed inverter. Some simulation results by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software are shown to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed circuit.
