Abstract

A grid-tie solar inverter with capacitor-supported series voltage compensator for reduction of high-voltage dc-link capacitance is proposed in this paper. The series compensator generates a voltage to counteract the voltage ripple on dc-link capacitor. As the magnitude of the AC voltage ripple is smaller than the dc-link DC voltage, the required voltage-current rating of the compensator is small. Detailed mathematical analysis on the static and dynamic behaviors of the overall system, and the control method will be discussed. The design guidelines of dc-link module will be given. The performance characteristics are favorably verified on a 2kW grid-tie solar inverter. © 2014 IEEE.
