3. OBJECTIVE Phase I : i. Simulation : Transformerless Inverter Model ii. Hardware implementation of Transformerless inverter (Off Grid Model) Phase II : i. PLL Design ii. Grid Integration of Developed Model 3

4. MOTIVATION Increasing demand of PV system Development of Cost Effective system Complete elimination of CM leakage current 4

5. WHY ‘LESS’ TOPOLOGY? Most Commercial PV inverters employ either line- frequency or high-frequency isolation transformers. Increases – Size,Cost,Losses Transformerless Topology – Reduced Size, weight, cost and installation complexity Increases efficiency by 2% produces Common Mode Leakage Current 5

6. T HE COMMON MODE LEAKAGE CURRENT, increases the system losses reduces the grid connected current quality induces severe conducted and radiated electromagnetic interference causes personal safety problems. 6
