Nowadays capacity of the photovoltaic systems in the grid is remarkable and provides a major part of energy in the grid. Therefore, an abruption of these systems from the grid can create a damage to the grid. Unlike in the past that PV systems disconnected from the grid when a voltage drop occurred, nowadays these systems should have Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) capability. The PV system should...
We consider the problem of controlling single-phase grid connected photovoltaic system based on a half bridge inverter. The control objectives are threefold: i) Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV system. ii) Unity power factor in the grid. iii) Regulating the output voltage to a desired reference value. The considered problem is dealt with by designing a nonlinear controller using the sliding...

The power generated by a solar photovoltaic panel depends strongly on atmospheric conditions. In fact, a grid connected system requests a good response for variations in the solar irradiance and temperature. Under partially shaded conditions, the PV array characteristics will be more complicated via multiple maxima in the P-V and I-V characteristics. In this paper, a maximum power point tracking algorithm...

This paper presents an intelligent fuzzy method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a single grid-connected photovoltaic system. The fuzzy inference system can easily synthesize the algorithm to perform MPPT. The MPPT fuzzy method is improved by weighting the control action by the short-circuit current. Hence, it is proposed an estimator of the short-circuit current based on a Takagi-Sugeno...
In terms of optimal Microgrid (MG) control, the output power of a non-dispatchable Distributed Generation (DG) as a Photovoltaic (PV) system need to be controlled based on the optimal operating condition of its primary energy source by the mean of a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to extract the potential maximum power which is nonlinearly depending on the weather conditions.
