Abstract: The purpose of the work was to modeling and control of a grid connected photovoltaic system. The system consists of photovoltaic panels, voltage inverter with MPPT control, filter, Phase Looked Loop (PLL) and three phase grid. The connection of the inverter to the grid is provided by an inductive filter (R, L).
OBJECTIVES Design a grid-connected solar PV system using MATLAB/Simulink. Implement a boost converter to match PV panel voltage with grid requirements. Develop an inverter for efficient DC to AC power conversion. Add a passive filter to ensure clean and stable AC power. Simulate and evaluate the system’s performance and grid integration.
This example shows the operation of a photovoltaic (PV) residential system connected to the electrical grid. The PV strings section implements a home installation of six PV array blocks in series that can produce 2400 W of power at a solar irradiance of 1000 W/m2.
Specifically, with an irradiance of 1500 W/m2 and a temperature of 25°C, optimizing the performance of a system with 20 parallel strings of PV panels generating a maximum power of 213.5 W and delivering 120V DC is crucial. This paper aims to design a grid-connected solar PV system using MATLAB/Simulink to address these challenges.
There are two main requirements for solar inverter systems: harvest available energy from the PV panel and inject a sinusoidal current into the grid in phase with the grid voltage. In order to harvest the energy out of the PV panel, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm is required.
The output of the solar PV system is 120V DC with a maximum power of 213.5W and a current of approximately 1.78A. The output from the boost converter is 240V DC. The output of the inverter is a pulsated AC waveform. In this study, a grid-connected solar PV system was designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink.
