Grid-connected PV inverters have traditionally been thought as active power sources with an emphasis on maximizing power extraction from the PV modules. While maximizing power transfer remains a top priority, utility grid stability is now widely acknowledged to benefit from several auxiliary services that grid-connected PV inverters may offer.
In both standalone or grid-connected PV systems, power electronic based inverter is the main component that converts the DC power to AC power, delivering in this way the power to the AC loads or electrical grid.
The control design of this type of inverter may be challenging as several algorithms are required to run the inverter. This reference design uses the C2000 microcontroller (MCU) family of devices to implement control of a grid connected inverter with output current control.
In general, on the basis of transformer, the grid-connected PV inverter topologies are categorized into two groups, i.e., those with transformer and the ones which are transformerless. Line-frequency transformers are used in the inverters for galvanic isolation of between the PV panel and the utility grid.
In the grid-connected inverter, the associated well-known variations can be classified in the unknown changing loads, distribution network uncertainties, and variations on the demanded reactive and active powers of the connected grid.
