A survey of single phase grid connected photovoltaic system

Thisreview focuses on inverter topologies for Photo Voltaic (PV) modules., which are connected with single phase grid systems. Various inverter topologies for PV modules such as (i) Centralized inverter (ii) String inverter (iii) Multi-string inverter and their recommended standards., trends., Principle of integration issues connecting with grid systems are presented in this review. The centralized and string PV systems have drawbacks such as losses due to mismatching of PV module., high voltage DC cables between PV modules and the inverter., limited power rating of converter unit and additional power losses due to the string diodes. The solutions for the above stated problems are overcome by multi string inverter. The different Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique for PV inverter modules is being presented in this review.
