Performance Comparison of Single-Phase PV Inverter Topologies Regarding Efficiency and Power Density

This paper investigates the performance of single-phase inverter topologies regarding their efficiency and power density. The main objective is to verify competitive advantages among topologies and determine which ones are more suitable for being employed as PV inverters. A brute force multi-objective algorithm is used to produce multiple inverter designs for each topology and create a solution space, whereas a Pareto-front optimization selects the optimal designs for comparison.
