In order to study the harmonic resonance characteristics of single-stage photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected/hydrogen production multi-inverter system, the modal analysis method was used to systematically analyze and discuss the resonance problem. First, a threephase single-stage photovoltaic grid-connected/hydrogen production system simulation model was established, and hydrogen production from water electrolysis was used as a local load. Secondly, this paper applied a modal analysis method that could determine the system resonance frequency, resonance center and the participation degree of each component by constructing the multi-inverter system node admittance matrix. Finally, the Thevenin equivalent model of multi-inverter system was established based on the modal analysis method. The influence of the number of inverters on the resonance characteristics of the system was studied. Compared with the frequency response analysis of the transfer function, the simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the modal analysis method.
