6 FAQs about [Common switching frequencies of photovoltaic inverters]

Why does switching frequency vary in a grid-connected photovoltaic system?

Because the rated power of inverters limits the choice of devices in filter design, the switching frequency also varies . In a grid-connected photovoltaic system, two distinctive topologies exist: the multi-string power station and the centralization power station.

What happens if a PV system has a high switching frequency?

The current flows through the inverter, filter, and grid, and then returns to the PV generation side through a ground path that may exist without galvanic isolation. High switching frequency may result in high frequency common-mode voltage as well as a high amount of common mode current, that exceeds grid standards allowable values.

Why do inverters need a higher switching frequency?

When the inverter operates at lower power, the switching loss of the power device is no longer a limiting factor. Therefore, increasing the switching frequency of the power device according to certain constraints as the output power is reduced helps to reduce the harmonic content of the grid current and improve the grid-connected power quality.
