A comprehensive review of grid-connected inverter topologies
This comprehensive review examines grid-connected inverter technologies from 2020 to 2025, revealing critical insights that fundamentally challenge industry assumptions
Grid-connected microgrids, wind energy systems, and photovoltaic (PV) inverters employ various feedback, feedforward, and hybrid control techniques to optimize performance under fluctuating grid conditions.
Traditional grid-connected inverters rely on power filters to meet harmonic standards, but these filters increase system complexity, cost, and size. The proposed topology introduces a multi-frequency operation mechanism, where the circuit is divided into 2 units: a power-inverter unit and a filter-rectifier unit.
HERIC = highly efficient and reliable inverter concept; MLI = multilevel inverter; MPPT = maximum power point tracking; NPC = neutral point clamped; PV = photovoltaic; QZSI = Quasi-Z-source inverter; THD = total harmonic distortion. This comprehensive table presents recent developments in grid-connected inverter topologies (2020–2025). 4.
The multi-frequency grid-connected inverter topology is designed to improve power density and grid current quality while addressing the trade-off between switching frequency and power losses . Traditional grid-connected inverters rely on power filters to meet harmonic standards, but these filters increase system complexity, cost, and size.
