Abstract A transformerless three-phase power conditioning unit interfacing with a high voltage (>200V) pho- tovo ltaic module is prese nted. The chosen topology , a Curre nt Source In verte r, featur es a single- stage power conversion system that feeds directly into the grid. A robust and highly efcient laboratory proto- type of a Module Integrated Converter has been implemented and demonstrated by experimental results. Introduction In grid-connected photovoltaic applications central and string inverters are the most commonly used system congur ations . By integrat ing the inv erter into the PV module and generati ng a grid complian t ac output current several system advantages can be achieved [1],[2],[3]: Ease of installa tion through exibl e PV system design, offer ing ”plug and play” features • PV system redundancy in case of inverter failure • No modu le mis mat ch losses due to shad ing or ali gnme nt in dif fer ent angle s due to indivi dua l Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) • No DC cabling Possibl e mass production through high quantiti es and standardise d components Despit e the benets of so called Module Integr ated Converters (MICs) and sev eral researc h eff orts this concep t was not commerci ally successf ul yet [5]. For the most part, this is due to low reliabili ty , high cost, complexity or poor efciency of the existing devices. Given that a PV system should have a lifespan of >20 years, reliabili ty is a key issue, especially when module integ ration is concerne d. High peak temperature stress and thermal cycling requires a highly robust design. Elect rolyti c capacitors , widely
