PWM control of solar power generation system

How does a PWM inverter work?

The inverter is decoupled of the grid. The output voltage of the PWM inverter is already set by the utility PV modules. Therefore the inverter is current controlled to ensure only power injection into the grid. The power control is obtained by means of the inverter output voltage shifting phase, PCSP (Power Control Shifting Phase).

Can digital bipolar PWM switching improve the output power quality of PV inverters?

In this work, the proposed control is based on digital bipolar PWM Switching which reduce the magnitude of the low order of harmonic components existing in the input AC supply in order to improve the output power quality of grid connected PV inverters and lower equipment costs for these systems.

How to control a grid-connected PV power generation system?

In order to achieve the optimal control of a grid-connected PV power generation system, and maximize the utilization of solar energy, MPC strategies for PV modules and the inverter are proposed, respectively. From the linear PV array model obtained by model identification, a model predictive controller is designed for modules.

Can digital pulse-width modulation control the power factor of a photovoltaic system?

In this paper, a control technique for a photovoltaic system connected to the grid based on digital pulse-width modulation (DSPWM) which can synchronize a sinusoidal output current with a grid voltage and control the power factor is proposed.

What is the power control structure for a PV system?

The power control structure for the PV system connected to the grid is in the range of 1–5 kW. The full bridge inverter connected to the grid across the LCL filter is shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 11. Injected power control structure.

Why do PV power generation systems have a low power output?

Because of system constraints caused by the external environment and grid faults, the conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and inverter control methods of a PV power generation system cannot achieve optimal power output. They can also lead to misjudgments and poor dynamic performance.
