Grid connected Converters for Photovoltaic, State of the Art
Abstract—The paper presents a short overview of the state of the art for grid tied PV inverters at low and medium power level (1..100 kW), mainly intended for rooftop applications.
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.
In order to reduce the impact of distributed grid integration on the grid and improve the stability of the grid, a combined sliding mode-prediction control strategy for grid-configuring inverters is proposed.
Do not leave the design powered when unattended. Grid connected inverters (GCI) are commonly used in applications such as photovoltaic inverters to generate a regulated AC current to feed into the grid. The control design of this type of inverter may be challenging as several algorithms are required to run the inverter.
Additionally, novel PV inverter control techniques ensure stable operation during unbalanced grid conditions using 4-leg NPC inverters, instantaneous active/reactive control, and hardware-based solutions. Table 16 provides a comparative analysis of these control strategies.
