Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems are increasingly attracting the attention of industry and academia as a means of providing an alternative to conventional fossil-fuel generation. In grid-connected PV systems, a key consideration is the design and operation of power converters and how to achieve high efficiency for different power configurations. The requirements for converter connection include: maximum power point, high efficiency, control power injected into the grid, and low total harmonic distortion of the currents injected into the grid.
