Nowadays, most three-phase, “off the shelf” inverters use electrolytic capacitors at the DC bus to provide short term energy storage. However, this has a direct impact on inverter lifetime and the total cost of the photovoltaic system. This article proposes a novel control strategy called a 120° bus clamped PWM (120BCM). The 120BCM modulates the DC bus and uses a smaller DC bus capacitor value, which is typical for film capacitors. Hence, the inverter lifetime can be increased up to the operational lifetime of the photovoltaic panels. Thus, the total cost of ownership of the PV system will decrease significantly. Furthermore, the proposed 120BCM control strategy modulates only one phase current at a time by using only one leg to perform the modulation. As a result, switching losses are significantly reduced. The full system setup is designed and presented in this paper with some practical results.

This article deals with the vector control in dq axes of a three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic system with single-stage topology and low-voltage-ride-through capability. The photovoltaic generator is built using an array of several series-parallel Suntech PV modules and is modeled as a Lookup Table (two-dimensional; 2-D). The requirements adopted when grid voltage sags occur are based in both the IEC 61400-21 European normative and the allowed amount of reactive power to be delivered according to the Spanish grid code, which avoids the disconnection of the inverter under grid faults by a limitation in the magnitude of the three-phase output inverter currents. For this, the calculation of the positive- and negative-sequences of the grid voltages is made and a conventional three-phase Phase-Locked Loop is used for the inverter-grid synchronization, allowing the control of the active and reactive powers solely with the dq components of the inverter currents. A detailed enhanced flowchart of the control algorithm with low-voltage-ride-through capability is presented and several simulations and experiments using Matlab/SIMULINK and the Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation technique, respectively, are run for several types of one- and three-phase voltage sags in order to validate its behavior.


A reliable grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) system require effective control schemes for efficient use of solar energy. This paper presents a three-phase grid tied PV system with decoupled real and reactive power control to achieve desired power factor with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller to get maximum solar energy. The synchronous reference frame (dq) control along with decoupling concept is used to control the DC-AC inverter output, while the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synchronization technique is used to monitor and synchronize the voltage and current at the grid side. The DC-DC converter with Incremental Conductance (InC) based MPPT model is also designed in this paper due to better accuracy compared to Perturb & Observe (P&O) algorithm. The simulation is performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK and a 31.5 kW PV system is modelled to get 30 kW power with the help of MPPT at Standard Test Conditions (STC). Any power factor value between 0.85 lagging to 0.9 leading can be obtained by changingreference q current in this inverter control strategy. The simulation results show that the change of reactive powerdoes not affecttheactive power values of the system, which verifies the effectiveness of the decoupled control strategy of the inverter.

In this paper a control scheme for three phase seven level cascaded H-bridge inverter for grid tied PV system is presented. As power generation from PV depends on varing environmental conditions, for extractraction of maximum power from PV array, fuzzy MPPT controller is incorporated with each PV array. It gives fast and accurate response. To maintain the grid current sinusoidal under varying conditions, a digital PI controller scheme is adopted. A MATLAB/Simulink model is developed for this purpose and results are presented. At last THD analysis is carried out in order to validate the performance of the overall system. As discussed, with this control strategy the balanced grid current is obtained keeping THD values with in the specified range of IEEE-519 standard.
