Get StartedSep 1, 2021 · PV inverters had been generally classified into isolated inverter and non-isolated inverter. Non-isolated inverter also call transformerless inverter.
Get StartedRecently developed isolated microinverters were mainly based on center-tapped single or interleaved flyback converters in single-stage topology and DC–DC converters cascaded with half or full-bridge inverters in multi-stage topology. These converters are proposed to either increase the lifetime and efficiency or decrease the cost of components.
Early solar PV inverters were simply modules that dumped power onto the utility grid. Newer designs emphasize safety, intelligent grid integration, and cost reduction. Designers are looking to new technology, not used in existing solar inverter modules, to improve performance and reduce cost.
The main technical challenges for isolated PV microinverters are to achieve high conversion efficiency, low manufacturing cost, and long lifespan. Given that isolated microinverters contain high-frequency transformers, core losses and switching losses are the major concerns to attaining improved efficiency.
In response to these needs, Texas Instruments offers several isolation offerings for solar power conversion applications. These include isolated IGBT gate drivers, digital isolators, isolated delta-sigma ADCs and amplifiers, and isolated communication links such as isolated RS-485 and isolated CAN.
Galvanic isolation in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) microinverters is a very important feature concerning power quality and safety issues. However, high-frequency transformers and high switching losses degrade the efficiency of the isolated types of microinverters.
Topologies of isolated microinverters Galvanic isolation exists between the grid and the PV modules in isolated microinverter types. The presence of a high-frequency transformer in the microinverter topology usually provides this isolation.
