A photovoltaic (PV) cell connected to the grid system has been modeled in MATLAB environment. Various characteristics have been plotted with changing atmospheric condition. An operating point at which photovoltaic cell exhibits maximum efficiency and generates maximum power is tracked by, a method called voltage Based Maximum Power Point tracking (VMPPT). To inject a sinusoidal current into the grid system, two modulations techniques namely; Sine PWM and State Vector PWM (SVPWM) have been implemented, and their performance is evaluated based on different parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the fast and effective response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
