Both filter inductors, electrolytic capacitors, and radiators play a significant role in the inverter of a PV (Photovoltaic) power generation system. These three parts are the largest in an inverter, which affects the performance of the inverter. Aimed to improve the power density of a single-phase PV grid-connected inverter with a decoupling function. This paper derived the control principle that can reduce the volume of the inductor, decoupling capacitor, and the loss of the switching device to begin with the mathematical function of power processing of the filter inductor. And then, the authors deduced a boost-type power decoupled single-phase inverter topology. Based on a novel three-port three-switches flyback series circuit, this paper proposed an efficient power decoupling topology circuit for extracting the maximum power density of a single-phase grid-connected PV inverter. Finally, this article operated the simulation and experiment. Both the simulated and experimental results verified that the proposed method works well.
