Grid-interactive solar PV inverters must satisfy the technical requirements of PV energy penetration posed by various country's rules and guidelines. Grid-connected PV systems enable consumers to contribute unused or excess electricity to the utility grid while using less power from the grid.
The different solar PV configurations, international/ national standards and grid codes for grid connected solar PV systems have been highlighted. The state-of-the-art features of multi-functional grid-connected solar PV inverters for increased penetration of solar PV power are examined.
In a grid-connected PV system, the role of inverter control system is fixing the dc link voltage and adjusting active and reactive power delivered to the grid. For this purpose, it has two main parts: (1) outer control loop of the dc link voltage, (2) inner dq current control loops.
In this study, a two-stage grid-connected inverter is proposed for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The proposed system consist of a single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) converter which tracks the maximum power point of the PV system and a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) with LCL filter to export the PV supplied energy to the grid.
In a grid-connected PV system, the inverter controls the grid injected current to set the dc link voltage to its reference value and to adjust the active and reactive power delivered to the grid. In this review paper, different current control strategies for grid-connected VSI with LCL filter are introduced and compared.
The control design of this type of inverter may be challenging as several algorithms are required to run the inverter. This reference design uses the C2000 microcontroller (MCU) family of devices to implement control of a grid connected inverter with output current control.
