Abstract
This paper presents the complete design and simulation of transformer-less single phase PV inverter for converting the energy extracted by the PV arrays to AC power to be used in stand alone applications without batteries storage. The proposed model consists of two stages. The first stage is a DCDC boost converter. It is responsible to regulate and boost the DC output voltage of the PV system to 312V. The second stage is a full bridge DC-AC inverter that converts the regulated output voltage of the boost converter to sinusoidal AC voltage. The designed system has been tested using MATLAB simulation at different load and weather conditions and capable for converting the PV system DC voltage level from (90-140 V) to the 50Hz/220V AC output voltage at all states. Thus, the proposed system is suitable for supplying an isolated load without needing to the batteries when PV power is available during a day.
