Abstract

Single-phase inverters for photovoltaic systems are normally analyzed when they are connected to the strong electric grid with low impedance. This work focuses on analysis of a single-phase inverter operating in a weak electric grid with relatively high impedance. Presented are experimentally determined results for the inverter’s efficiency, voltage and current total harmonic distortion and power factor. The results presented show substantial contents of sub harmonic components in the inverter’s output current.
