Medium Voltage Conversion Systems with Integrated Galvanic Isolation for Hybrid Photovoltaic Plants
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The demand for a more sustainable energy system is driving the development of renewable energy sources and green technologies within the electrical sector. However, integrating these technologies is challenging due to the increased complexity of the system components and grid architectures. This paper provides an overview of power electronic conversion systems that facilitate the connection of renewable energy sources (photovoltaic power plants) and direct-current energy storage systems to three-phase medium-voltage alternating-current grids. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the state-of-the-art converter architectures and proposes modifications and technological alternatives, providing insight into the future development of grid-interface power converters for hybrid energy systems.
