Get a quoteAs PV systems need an electronic interface to be connected to the grid or standalone loads, the PV market has started appealing to many power electronics manufacturers. Improvements in design, technology and manufacturing of PV inverters, as well as cost reduction and high efficiency, are always the main objectives, [see References 1, 2].
A single-phase grid-connected inverter, with unipolar pulse-width modulation, operates from a DC voltage source and is characterized by four modes of operation or states. Two modes take place during the positive load current period and two modes in the negative load current period, as shown in Table 6. Table 6.
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.
Table 1. The dual-stage inverter for grid-connected applications includes a DC-DC converter to amplify the voltage and a DC-AC inverter to control the current injected into the grid. Figure 3. The DC-DC converter is depicted in Figure 3 together with the DC-AC converter and LCL filter.
The converter performs MPPT and grid connection by means of an ARM Cortex M3-based STM32F103xx microcontroller, which is proven to be well suited for such an application. In fact, the implemented DQ axis control scheme shows excellent regulation of both active and reactive power, as is also required for low power applications in the near future.
The inverter current is transformed, using Park equations, in the two components referred to the rotating DQ reference frame of the grid voltage. These components, Id and Iq, are proportional to active and reactive generated power, respectively.
