Single-phase current controlled, voltage source inverters are commonly used to feed unity power factor sinusoidal current into the distribution network from PV sources. A large 50 Hz transformer is often used at the inverter output for galvanic isolation and to prevent dc current injection into the distribution network. This transformer increases cost, size and overall power losses of the system....
