Integration of solar power to the electric grid: A case study

Abstract

As the demand of electricity is increasing with each passing day and the conventional sources of energy are depleting, it becomes mandatory to include various renewable or non- conventional sources of energy for the generation of power. Solar energy is one of the promising sources of renewable energy in the modern day. In this paper integration of the solar power to the electric grid has been discussed. MPPT controller and a boost converter are used to obtain maximum power at the output and further synchronization of Voltage Source Inverter's output with the electric grid is presented.
