Novel Common-Mode Current Suppression Method in Transformerless PV Grid-Connected System

The existence of high-frequency components in common-mode (CM) current would reduce the stability of a non-isolated PV grid-connected system. It has great impacts on the output power quality when the generated power from PV is low. The method of single CM inner loop in suppressing the high-frequency components has poor effect. Based on the CM equivalent circuit model and the cause analysis of the CM current, a novel dual CM inner loops method is proposed to restrain the high-frequency components in CM current. This method not only meets the grid connection demand of CM current, but also overcomes the high frequency resonant problem. Furthermore, the high-frequency components in CM current from the outer parasitic circuit are substantially reduced. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.
