Control of single phase grid connected transformerless PV inverter system
Abstract
This
paper presents the simulation performance of control of a grid-connected
photovoltaic maximum power point tracking system with highly efficient and
reliable inverter concept transformerless inverter. Perturb and Observe
technique based on variation of power and voltage is used to extract maximum
power from photovoltaic power system. A dc-dc boost converter is applied with
the technique by changing duty ratio of the PWM signal of the converter switch.
A single-phase highly efficient and reliable inverter concept transformerless
inverter provides a power flow into grid. The control of the inverter is based on
the grid voltage and current and also dc-dc boost converter output voltage
values. The system performance is evaluated in terms of PV module and dc-dc
boost converter output voltages and currents, grid current and voltage, leakage
current, active and reactive powers and power efficiency characteristics. The
simulation results show 97.96% maximum efficiency, 96.84% European efficiency
and 97.60% Californian efficiency with 20 kHz switching frequency for the HERIC
inverter on the proposed system.
