This paper presents a novel digital active EMI filter technique implemented in a grid-tied photovoltaic microinverter to suppress common-mode electromagnetic interference. The stability of the microinverter system is analyzed using its overall transfer function. A digital controller is designed using direct quadrant reference frame control and compensation techniques. Experimental results from a 200W grid-connected microinverter validate that the proposed digital active EMI filter provides equivalent or better EMI suppression compared to a conventional passive filter, while maintaining system stability.
