Modelling and Simulation of 3-phase Transformerless Split Inductor Multilevel Inverter for Grid Connected Photovoltaic System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Split inductor is used with Exiting Inverter to interconnect inverter with grid connected system which avoids the usage of transformer. While using split inductor NPC-MLI shoot-through problems are producing in the bridge legs of an NPCTLI, its operation stability is ruined. Hysteresis Current Control (HCC) offers an excellent current control performance to NPCTLI. It acts based on the error current value i) and hysteresis band value (h). The proposed topology guarantees for no common-mode voltage, shoot-through possibility and capacitor balancing problem. Finally, the simulation results of a proposed SI-NPCTLI system verified using MATLAB SIMULINK.
