Abstract

This paper proposes a grid-connected inverter using the negative conductance of PV power system, which has four IGBTs and simple controller. Most of modern electric loads generate the current harmonics and the line voltage distortion. The new solar-to-ac converter(STAC) provides by emulating a negative conductance load to the line voltage, so the current harmonics from STAC is canceled the effect of the harmonics from other loads. As a result, the line voltage distortion is decreased. The proposed system have low cost, small size, and light weight compared to conventional photovoltaic converter
