I am working on a 50 Hz, 230V (RMS) single phase inverter, the input source current contains DC current,
switching frequency ripple and 100 Hz ripple. Then how can i calculate the efficiency of the inverter?

In the presence of harmonics, the correct way to measure power is to take the time average of the
instantaneous product of voltage and current. It is the same as the average of instantaneous power.
Measuring pf under distortion can be quite tricky since current harmonics do not contribute to average
power if voltage is sinusoidal. Hence Irms may not be of use either.
However, on DC side, if the voltage is perfectly constant (without ripple), then Vdc*Iav will give the
true power. Otherwise the above process is needed.

sir,
Currently i am doing simulation using simpowersystems. I did FFT analysis and found harmonic
contents.
you mean to say, efficiency = [vo(rms)* io(rms)*pf)/(Vdc* idc)].
where idc is the dc component obtained when do FFT of the input current...
