Due to the rising fuel costs and growing worldwide demand for electricity, renewable energy sources become a necessity rather than a luxury. This paper presents an original control strategy for a buck-boost based converter used as a low cost inverter in a photovoltaic (PV) system. The main objective of the inverter is to harvest maximum power from the PV module and to inject it into the grid. The...
The development of intelligent microgrids with renewable energy sources increased significantly nowadays. The present paper examines and compares analog and digital control of a bidirectional phase shift converter in order to find out which is best suited to be used in intelligent microgrid applications. New small signal models for the direct and reverse power flow transfer modes of the converter...
In order to increase the output efficiency of a PV energy system, it has to be forced to operate near the maximum power point (MPP). A photovoltaic (PV) system, including Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller that extracts the maximum possible output power from the solar panel is built. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed system, making use of several MPPT control algorithms...
