Abstract
Work on the critical review of DC/AC converter structures for grid-connected photovoltaic systems is presented. Due to the large energy needs of different uses and the exhausting of fossil fuel supplies and the environmental impacts have become increasingly important. Photovoltaic (PV) systems use the available power of the sun and transform it from direct current to alternating current. In this review, the main constituents of a grid-connected PV plant are presented as well as the DC/AC converter structures, effects, and challenges of integration are discussed. Based on the harmonic distortion rate (THD), comparison literature is discussed to identify the DC/AC structure for grid-connected PV systems offering the best performance. This study will assist in the implementation of PV systems into the grid in new projects while avoiding the evident challenges encountered in existing projects.
