Abstract:The high frequency pulse width modulation controlling is mainly used in the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, which results in a large number of high-order harmonic current into the power grid. Therefore the filtering in the output of the inverter is fairly important.In this paper, different grid inverter filters were analyzed and general filter transfer function was derived from the filter network circuit diagram. Then the effects on the entire transfer function caused by different parameter changes is also analyzed. A design method of LCL filter with damping measures, which is based on the circuit model, transfer function and characteristics of harmonic components, is introduced in this article. Lastly, matlab simulation and experiment are conducted.
