This paper gives the detailed modelling, analysis and application of Open-End Winding Induction Motor (OEWIM) fed from PV source. The proposed configuration is the single stage solution, which takes care of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), DC-AC inversion three-level with V/f control. The proposed system finds application in areas where the grid is not accessible. The simplest and most widely...
This paper is aimed at securing the electric demand of household appliances up to 2 kW at 230 V during day and night hours using photovoltaic (PV) system. This is achieved by integration PV array, inverter, and LC filter with storage batteries and their charge controller. The system design is based on assessing the total electric power demand and the load profile during day and night hours. During...
In conventional grid-connected PV system, the control of real and reactive power is undertaken adjusting both modulation index and phase angle of the inverter. The maximum power point of the PV array is tracked by adjusting duty cycle of the dc-dc converter or modulation index of the inverter. The PWM pattern has to be optimized each time the index of modulation is changed which involves excessive...
This paper presents photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected power conditioning systems based on Z-source inverter. Using Z-source network, the system can work within a range of PV array output voltage wider than that of the conventional boost converter. It allows the use of the shoot-through switching state for boosting the input voltage, compensates dead-time effect which causes serious output voltage distortions...
Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are always assembled based on centralized, string and multi-string technology. These complex configurations of PV arrays and non-dependent maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms based on PV arrays but not PV modules lead to the low output power efficiency of PV arrays. In view of the above questions, this paper analyzes the output characteristics of PV arrays under...
This paper proposes a new multi-input dc boost converter for grid-connected hybrid Photovoltaic (PV)/Fuel cell (FC)/Battery power system, supplying a residential load. In this structure each switching cycle of proposed boost converter is divided in to five switching periods in comparison with conventional structure. These switching periods introduce five different duty ratios for the proposed boost...
Due to the stochastic characteristic of photovoltaic (PV) generation, energy storage devices are indispensable to smooth the power flow and provide the electric energy with high quality. In this paper, an integrated DC/DC converter is proposed to realize high performance interfaces for PV array, battery and load. This converter consists of a boost converter for the PV array and a buck/boost converter...
The concept of attaching a small complete inverter designed for grid interconnection to each photovoltaic (PV) module of an array has been pursued for about 20 years. National Grid began supporting development of this novel concept in 1992, designating the complete system as an “AC Module” (ACM). Technical success was achieved around ten years ago, but commercial success has been achieved only within...
In a grid-connected PV system using a QZSI(Quasi Z-Source Inverter), the capacitor voltage of an impedance network is controlled to be constant to track the MPP(Maximum Power Point) of a PV array and generate the reference output current. For higher efficiency of the system, if possible, the reference voltage of the capacitor should be set at a lower value. On the other hand, the reference voltage...
This paper presents a transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system with active and reactive power control. The proposed system operations can be categorized into sunny mode and night mode. In night mode, it compensates for the reactive power demanded by nonlinear loads. In sunny mode, it not only supplies active power from the PV array to the grid or loads, but also performs power quality...
A grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power system with the high step-up ZVT interleaved boost converter is presented in this paper. For a typical PV module, the output voltage is relatively low. So the high voltage gain is obligatory to realize the grid-connected function. The proposed PV system employs a ZVT interleaved boost converter with an active-clamp circuit as the first power processing stage,...
This paper proposes a detailed mathematical model and a multi-level control scheme of a three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system used as a dispersed generator, including the PV array and the electronic power conditioning (PCS) system, based on the Matlab/Simulink software. The model of the PV array proposed uses theoretical and empirical equations together with data provided by the manufacturer,...
This paper presents a PV grid-connected system in centralized configuration and constructed with a three- phase dual-stage inverter. In this topology, usually, a DC- DC converter performs the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and an inverter is responsible for controlling of the grid-current. For the DC-DC stage the three-phase series resonant converter (SRC3) is chosen thanks to the very advantages...
The simulation of photovoltaic (PV) power systems relies on appropriate models of the PV array, power conversion electronics, operating conditions and sometimes, energy storage and loads. This paper presents a model of intermediate complexity for grid-tie inverters that can capture many differences between specific products, yet remains generic enough to be used without expert knowledge of their internal...
