Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been widely used for power generation and renewable energy. Conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise have generated, which affect the performance of other device and the grid. In the paper, the measurement uncertainty of artificial mains network (AMN) has been analyzed. The conducted EMI noise mechanism and noise mitigation methods have been proposed, including transistor filter and well grounding design strategies. The simulation and experiment results show that the conducted EMI noise generated by a certain convert can be suppressed well and pass EN 55011 and EN 55022 standards, thus good realization and validation.

Keywords
