Abstract
Given the swift expansion of the world’s population and economy, the decline in environmental quality caused by global warming, frequent climate disasters, ecosystem damage, sea level rise and other problems makes the world energy structure is changing, which means many countries start to develop their new energy industry and technology in order to meet their growing demand for energy. Therefore, promoting the energy transformation and innovation has become a new focus, and photovoltaic (PV) power generation as a green energy source is the focus of attention. PV inverters are essential components of photovoltaic array systems since they are the principal equipment capable of converting the fluctuating DC voltage produced by solar panels into mains frequency alternating current. However, the leakage current problem appeared during its operation has become one of the most important focuses of electrical engineers in recent years. This paper takes three aspects which is topology, filter and modulation mode to discuss how to suppress common mode leakage current in inverters. This paper reviews the existing research results and looks forward to their future development trends, which provides a reference for the following research.
