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.
However, these methods may require accurate modelling and may have higher implementation complexity. Emerging and future trends in control strategies for photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected inverters are driven by the need for increased efficiency, grid integration, flexibility, and sustainability.
As clearly pointed out, the PV inverter stands for the most critical part of the entire PV system. Research efforts are now concerned with the enhancement of inverter life span and reliability. Improving the power efficiency target is already an open research topic, as well as power quality.
Transformerless inverters are considered desirable for a photovoltaic system. Multi-stage topologies can be a good choice in non-isolated inverters, but they require two or more stages for converting solar PV power to grid power as shown in Fig. 5, leading to reduced efficiency , , , , .
Another important requirement of the inverter is to protect against overload conditions. Therefore, when designing a system, the power rating of the inverter should normally be greater than 90% of the maximum power of the PV module , .
In grid integrated SPV system, inverter plays an essential role for converting DC power from SPV to utility demanded AC power. Fig. 1. Power generated from grid-connected and off-grid PV-systems . There are different inverter techniques in SPV system . Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) with boosting unit is the conventional technique.
