In the single-phase grid-connected inverter systems the high quality Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) factor must always be considered. In cases, when the supplying voltage is reduced, the output voltage can still be assured constant in the limited range by using the over-modulation strategy that also enables better utilization of dc bus. Unfortunately, this operation incurs high order harmonics' force...
