Analysis of single phase grid connected PV system to identify efficient system configuration

Deregulated power system nowadays is grooming rapidly. Distributed generators are providing support to existing power system to fulfill the demand of power. Solar Photovoltaic system is one of the distributed generators which are being utilized by the customers globally. Small and medium power consumers have started striving on solar power for economically and environmentally reasons. Most of the customers on distribution side have single phase connection. Presently the single phase grid connected photovoltaic system is getting popularity among all renewable energy sources used for the distribution side. This paper mainly focuses on the component analysis of single phase grid connected photovoltaic system. For better understanding of the system and for attaining maximum efficiency of the PV system, an efficient power electronics converter is being required. The paper reviews the existing topologies of the various components used in a single phase grid-tied PV system which leads to identify the efficient system configuration of the PV system.
