Control and Application of Grid-Connected Cascaded H-Bridge PV Inverters

Abstract

In the case of grid-tied PV inverters, in general terms, the quality of current remains the determinant of the power quality, as voltage of a PV inverter cannot be controlled. Therefore, the current control strategy carries a prime importance for a grid-tied system. Low levels of harmonic distortion, increased dynamic response, and the DC-link voltage regulation are the fundamentals requirements that must be satisfied by a grid-tied system. Here, the entire output produced by the PV systems largely depends on the current-control technique employed. This paper offers an overview of various current control schemes and presents a novel current control technique for grid-connected cascaded H-bridge PV inverters. This control technique is implemented on a π (Pi) type thriteen level cascaded H-bridge (PiCHB) PV inverter.

Development of STEM-Based Physics Learning Media Materials on Temperature and Heat to Improve Students' Mastery of Concepts

“…While Briggs argues that all physical devices can present messages and stimulate students to learn. Consideration of the use of media in learning is one of the important roles of a teacher to find alternatives for students in learning so as to be able to attract students' learning interest (Dewantara et al, 2020).…”
