In this paper, a modified dual-stage inverter applied to grid-connected photovoltaic systems performed for high power applications has been studied. The modified dual-stage inverter contains DC-DC stage and DC-AC stage.
In the proposed grid-connected dual-stage inverter, the direct axis current, Id, is observed, which serves for the inverter stage to set Vdc. These actions define the DC-DC converter’s input characteristic behavior, which determines the PV array operation point . When Id is maximized, the PV array operates on MPOP.
The proposed two-stage grid-connected PV inverter based on the variable dc-link voltage is illustrated in Fig. 1. The topology under study is composed of an equivalent direct current source (DCS), boost stage, and buck stage. In this paper, DCS is regarded as the integration of the PV array and input decoupling capacitor Cin.
Recently, there has been significant research interest in the development of two-stage grid-connected inverter topologies with high-frequency link transformers for solar PV systems.
From the simulation results it can be easily concluded that two stages grid connected PV inverter has better and stable response as compared to the single stage grid connected PV inverter. Two stages operation has proved to have high efficiency, almost unity power factor and higher accuracy of tracking reference voltage.
The modified dual-stage inverter contains DC-DC stage and DC-AC stage. Through the Behavior Matching, the DC-DC stage operates with constant frequency and duty cycle and the DC-AC stage becomes responsible for the maximum power point tracking and grid-current control.
