Abstract

Recently, the development of integrated inverters for photovoltaic systems has been widely performed to reduce overall system size, costs, and losses. Thus, integrated inverters have emerged as a prominent solution for replacing two-stage power conversion composed of a step-up converter and a voltage source inverter. Thereby, this paper proposes an integrated inverter topology for single-phase grid-tied photovoltaic systems. The proposed power converter, called a Single-Phase Integrated Zeta Inverter (SP-IZI), can boost the input voltage and inject a sinusoidal and regulated current into the mains with low harmonic distortion. The SP-IZI is based on integrating modified DC-DC Zeta converters, designed and controlled to operate in a discontinuous conduction mode, and presents similarities with the Modified Zeta Inverter (MZI). In this way, this paper compares the main parameters of both topologies and provides a complete study of the SP-IZI, involving both quantitative and qualitative studies as well as a small signals analysis. The feasibility and functionality of the proposed SP-IZI inverter are presented and evaluated through experimental results, which demonstrate that the SP-IZI presents the following advantages compared to the MZI: (i) the voltage in coupling capacitors is 13% lower; (ii) voltage stresses in switches and diodes are 40% lower; and (iii) static gain is similar to the traditional Zeta converter.
