The efficiency of the LLCL-filter based single-phase grid-tied inverter also excites interests for many applications. The operation of the switches of the VSI is various with different modulation methods, which lead to different efficiencies for such a single-phase grid-tied inverter system, and therefore important research has been carried out on the effect of the choice of PWM schemes. Then power losses and efficiencies of the LLCL-filter and the LCL-filter based single-phase grid-tied inverters are analyzed and compared under the discontinuous unipolar, the dual-buck and the bipolar modulations. Results show that the efficiency of LLCL-filter based inverter system is higher than the LCL- filter based independent on the modulation method adopted. Experiments on a 2 kW prototype are in good agreement with results of the theoretical analysis.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Efficiency comparison between the LLCL and LCL-filters based single-phase grid-tied inverters}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/84896/PDF/05_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/aee-2014-0005}, keywords={LCL filter, LLCL-filter, efficiency power loss, modulation, single-phase grid-tied inverter}, }
