Photovoltaic Energy Conversion System Using Single-Phase Grid-Tied Inverter

Abstract

A single-phase grid connected with a photovoltaic (PV) power system that will provide high voltage gain with state model analysis for the control of the system has been presented. The PV system has been provided with a boost converter which will boost the low voltage of the PV array to high dc-voltage. The output voltage of a PV array is comparatively low thus high voltage gain is necessary for grid-connection and synchronization. A full bridge inverter with bidirectional power flow is used as the second power processing stage, which stabilizes the dc voltage and the output current. Further, a maximum-power-point-tracking method is employed in the PV system to obtain a high performance. This paper proposes a single-phase two stage inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic systems for residential applications. This system consists of a switch mode DC-DC boost converter and a H-bridge inverter. The switching strategy of proposed inverter consists with a combination of sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and square wave along with grid synchronization condition. The performance of the proposed inverter is simulated under grid-connected scenario using MATLAB. Furthermore, the intelligent PV module system is implemented using a simple maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method utilizing power balance is also employed in order to increase the systems efficiency.
