Abstract

The single-phase utility interactive photovoltaic (PV) system, including the insulated-gate bipolar-transistor (IGBT) current-source pulse-width modulation (PWM) inverter with two auxilliary IGBTs is described. The system configuration, its operation, and experimental results which include steady-state characteristics with waveforms are presented. It is shown that the system can supply a utility with maximum power corresponding to the insolation with sinusoidal current waveforms at unity power factor. The modulation index and firing angle are fixed, and there is no need for feedback control. In case of emergency, the system can be instantaneously disconnected from the utility line by turning off all the main IGBTs. Simultaneously, the two auxiliary IGBTs are turned on to let the DC current circulate through these IGBTs, the PV array, and the DC reactor.<>
