摘要

This paper introduces an innovative single-phase, single-stage transformerless photovoltaic (PV) inverter design that utilizes a multilevel architecture to enhance performance in grid-connected systems. The proposed five-level inverter topology achieves multiple output voltage levels from a single PV source, significantly boosting the output voltage. This design not only supports both buck and boost modes, enabling the inverter to produce output voltages that match or exceed the input PV voltage, but also minimizes leakage current while reducing common-mode voltage transitions. The multilevel structure provides improved voltage quality, reduced harmonic distortion, and enhanced overall efficiency. The effectiveness and safety of the inverter are demonstrated through simulation results, confirming its potential to optimize PV system performance.
