Research on High Reliability Grid Connection Control Strategy for Single Phase Voltage Source Inverters | IEEE Conference Publication | IEEE Xplore
Grid-connected PV inverters have traditionally been thought as active power sources with an emphasis on maximizing power extraction from the PV modules. While maximizing power transfer remains a top priority, utility grid stability is now widely acknowledged to benefit from several auxiliary services that grid-connected PV inverters may offer.
The requirements for the grid-connected inverter include; low total harmonic distortion of the currents injected into the grid, maximum power point tracking, high efficiency, and controlled power injected into the grid. The performance of the inverters connected to the grid depends mainly on the control scheme applied.
In the grid-connected inverter, the associated well-known variations can be classified in the unknown changing loads, distribution network uncertainties, and variations on the demanded reactive and active powers of the connected grid.
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 general, on the basis of transformer, the grid-connected PV inverter topologies are categorized into two groups, i.e., those with transformer and the ones which are transformerless. Line-frequency transformers are used in the inverters for galvanic isolation of between the PV panel and the utility grid.
Every algorithm for grid-connected inverter operation is based on the estimation or direct measurement of grid-voltage frequency and phase angle. Both parameters are fundamental for correct operation and special care must be taken in their detection to avoid the influence of any external noise.
