“…As a consequence of this, the PV generator is most often considered to be just a voltage source with rather high output impedance especially when a capacitor is always connected between the PV generator and the interfacing converter. Therefore, the proposed converters may not be tested at all by using a real PV generator or a source simulator having the dynamic properties similar to the real PV generator (Menti, et al, 2011;Sanchis, et al, 2007). Usually a pure constant-voltage source with a small resistance in series is only used as in (Park, et al, 2006).…”

“…The lack of real recognition of the static and dynamic differences in the converters compared to the conventional converters has led to a situation, where the proposed PV converters have not been tested by using a proper input source as discussed e.g. in (Menti, et al, 2011;Sanchis, et al, 2007). Therefore, the suitability of the converter for the intended application has to be carefully tested by using a real PV generator or a solar array simulator, which is known to have the same static and dynamic properties as the real PV generator.…”

More sophisticated applications require electronic converters to process the electricity from the PV device. These converters may be used to regulate the voltage and current at the load, control the power flow in grid-connected systems, and mainly track the maximum power point (MPP) of the device. Therefore, this paper tries to study an electronic converter in PV systems, namely the Buck converter, and propose an easy way to electronic converter designers to calculate component values needed to realize it.

“…For example, different values of irradiance, temperature variation, and islanding protections are taken into account when dealing with grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, as well as the control of the power factor (PF) of the inverter-grid connection [3]. In addition, the good power quality [4] according to international standards [3,5e7] must always be observed.…”

Control and synchronization algorithms for a grid-connected photovoltaic system under harmonic distortions, frequency variations and unbalances

a b s t r a c tIn this paper, an implementation of the control and the synchronization algorithms for a Voltage Source Inverter used as the power conditioner for Photovoltaic renewable energy in a grid-connected structure is carried out. Its main purpose is to show, in a simple manner, the design and combined operation of the control and synchronization algorithms for attaining the proper behaviour of the Grid Inverter when the 3-phase utility grid is disturbed by voltage unbalances, frequency variations and harmonic distortions, according to power quality standards.In order to obtain a high efficiency of the system during perturbations, a Proportional Resonant controller with a Harmonic Compensator structure is designed for the control algorithm, whereas a Dual Second Order Generalized Integrator Frequency-Locked Loop (DSOGI-FLL) is used as the synchronization algorithm.In order to validate both the control and the synchronization algorithms, some simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK from The MathWorks, Inc. are shown firstly, and secondly, some real-time digital simulations are carried out.
