Abstract

Nowadays, the LCL-filter type becomes an attractive grid interfacing for grid-connected Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). LCL-filter can render the current harmonics attenuation around the switching frequency by using smaller inductance than L-filter. This paper presents a study about the LCL-filter design for single-phase grid-connected inverter in Photovoltaic (PV) system. According to the expected current ripple, the inductances of the filter can be determined. Based on the absorbed reactive power on capacitor, the capacitance can be calculated. Due to the theoretical analysis, a LCL-filter based single phase grid connected inverter control system are simulated. The studied simulation results are given to validate the theoretical analysis.
