Day By Day

The need for energy is increasing day-by-day, which is a large part of total global energy consumption. The crises of fossil fuels and nuclear power will run out someday in the future. Therefore, we aim to develop energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) especially from solar. The growth of solar energy has increase day by day to meet the demand in the future. In this paper, modeling and analyzing of a transformer-less grid-connected inverter is proposed for solar photovoltaic (PV)-grid interface system. The scope of the transformer-less inverter is used to minimize ground leakage current in the grid. The inverter is directly connected to unbiased grid line and PV array inverting terminal to compensate the ground leakage current. The transformer-less grid connected inverter is used to compensate reactive power, extraction of high energy from PV array, and low grid current distortion. The inverter is also used to improve tracking output current reference, grid synchronization, and to provide a safety margin of forced direct current into the grid. In the control circuit the Proportional Resonant (PR) controller is used. Atmega328 based reduced rated hardware is developed for verifying the system enhancements and the experimental results are used to prove the proposed methodology for control of transformer less grid interactive inverter which supports both active and reactive power to the loads.

<p>In this paper, an optimization of PV grid connected system is investigated. This is achieved by considering the application of artificial intelligence in the DC side to realize maximal power extraction, and using a sine-band hysteresis control in the AC side of the system, to generate a sine current/voltage suitable for grid connection IEEE929-2000 standards. The overall system has been simulated taking into account environmental effects and standards constraints in order to achieve best performance. The choice of sine band hysteresis control was selected considering its implementation simplicity. The algorithm runs fast on a low-cost microcontroller allowing to avoid any delay that can cause a phase shift in the system.  An experimental setup has been realized for tests and validation purposes. Both simulation and experimental results lead to satisfactory results which are conform to the IEEE929-2000 standards.</p>

DC to AC inverters are the well-known and improved in various kinds photovoltaic (PV) and gird tied systems. However, these inverters are require interfacing transformers to be synchronized with the grid-connected system. Therefore, the system is bulky and not economy. The transformerless inverter (TLI) topologies and its grid interface techniques are increasingly engrossed for the benefit of high efficiency, reliability, and low cost. The main concern in the TL inverters is common mode voltage (CMV), which causes the switching-frequency leakage current, grid interface concerns and exaggerates the EMI problems. The single-phase inverter two-level topologies are well developed with additional switches and components for eliminating the CMV. Multilevel inverters (MLIs) based grid connected transformerless inverter topology is being researched to avail additional benefits from MLI, even through that are trust topologies presented in the literature. With the above aim, this paper has proposed three -phase three-level T type NP-MLI (TNP-MLI) topology with transformerless PV grid connected proficiency. The CM leakage current should handle over mitigating CMV through removing unwanted switching events in the inverter pulse width modulation (PWM). This paper is proposes PV connected T type NP-MLI interface with three-phase grid connected system with the help of improved space vector modulation (SVM) technique to mitigate the CM leakage current to overcome the above said requests on the PV tied TL grid connected system. This proposed the SVM technique to mitigate the CM leakage current by selecting only mediums, and zero vectors with suitable current control method in order to maintain the inverter current and grid interface requirements. The proposed PV tied TNP-MLI offering higher efficiency, lower breakdown voltage on the devices, smaller THD of output voltage, good reliability, and long life span. The paper also investigated the CM leakage currents envisage and behavior for the three-phase MLI through the inverter switching function, which is not discussed before. The proposed SVM on TL-TNP-MLI offers the reliable PV grid interface with very low switching-frequency leakage current (200mA) for all the PV and inverter operation conditions. The feasibility and effectiveness of the TLI and its control strategy is confirmed through the MATLAB/Simulink simulation model directly as compared with 2kW roof top PV plant connected TL-TNP-MLI experimentation, showing good accordance with theoretical investigation. The simulation and experimental results are demonstrated and presented in the good stability of steady state and dynamics performances. The proposed inverter reduces the cost of grid interface transformer, harmonics filter, and CMV suppressions choke.

The Mathematical Model

Photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected system requires the inverter possesses excellent dynamic and static characteristics. In the view of the mathematical model of the inverter is nonlinear, we will adopt a kind of nonlinear control strategy called Passivity–Based Control (PBC). First we establish the standard Euler – Lagrange (EL) mode for inverter, then we also prove that this inverter is strictly passive. Based on passivity of inverter, we can redistribute the system energy, and adopt the approaches of injecting damping and decoupling to improve system performance. In this paper, we can control the active and reactive power of system to make system can fast track the PV array maximum power point, and possess the capacity of compensating the reactive power. Simulation results show that passivity-based control method can make the inverter possess better robustness and dynamic.
