Total Harmonic Distortion Performance of The Grid Connected Solar Photovoltaic System at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka

Sin E Chong

Abstract


Paper aims to investigate the output quality of the solar inverters specifically on the total harmonic distortion (THD) performance of the single-phase grid-tie inverters which were installed at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. K-Means clustering method is implemented in the study to perform the characterization of the THD current performance. 

Keywords
