Abstract

Various studies on Distributed Generation (DG) prove that this technology can reduce Losses and several other problems. Especially DG technology that uses renewable energy generation such as Photovoltaic (PV). Ofcourse the inverter must be installed in the PV generator so that it can convert the DC voltage generated by the PV into the AC voltage used by the grid. In this study, the data obtained is planning DG installation in Karimunjawa. However, there is no harmonics calculation in the network. So that requires the design of an inverter in order to calculate the harmonic generated and the effect of harmonics on the grid. Not only the inverter, this generator also needs a boost converter because the voltage generated by the PV is insufficient to convert into a 400 Volt AC voltage. The inverter will use the PWM technique to convert the DC voltage to AC and use an LC filter to refine and reduce the harmonic generated by the inverter.
