In this paper a simple digital implementation of one cycle control for the driving of a bidirectional three-phase back-to-back inverter is discussed. Such a digital implementation has been simulated in both grid-connected and stand alone configuration and the achieved performances have been compared with the corresponding ones obtained by adopting the standard analog implementation of one cycle control. The digital version preserves the same dynamic performances of the analog one even in presence of abrupt variations in the input current and during the transitions from grid-connected to stand-alone operating mode. The simulation results allow to assess the validity and the applicability of the proposed digital architecture in low cost microcontroller.

In recent years, increasing concerns about climate change and the liberalisation of energy market have provided the necessary impetus for a revolutionary restructuring of the electricity network at every level, namely production, transmission and distribution. Increased electricity production from renewable energy sources (RES) coupled with energy efficiency lie at the heart of the ambitious targets set by Europe in the quest to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to reach energy sustainability. Therefore the security and stability of the power system should be considered carefully to identify possible impacts due to uncontrolled deployment of RES. This paper focuses on the study of varying concentrations of photovoltaic (PV) systems on a proposed electricity grid in an attempt to assess the power quality response of the power system. The study has been performed using a detailed PV system model. The model is initially validated using data from the output of PV systems and then this is used for the study of varying PV penetrations on common distribution system topologies. The results are compared to international power quality standards.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are among the most important research topics related to photovoltaic (PV) systems. Conventional MPPT methods yield effective results that are easy to perform under uniform irradiation conditions. However, as more than one local maxima is formed under partial shading conditions, these methods fall short of being successful. Even though there are MPPT methods cited in the literature that work accurately under these conditions, they are dependent on complex calculations or panel parameters. This study proposes a new method that finds the real MPP of the PV array under partially shaded conditions. This method is based on the principle of scanning the P-V curve obtained by sensing the current and voltage values of a capacitor connected to the output of the PV array within charging time. The proposed method was tested in the Matlab-Simulink environment, in a simulation performed under partially shaded conditions and successful results were obtained.

This paper presents the comparison of results between the singular value decomposition (SVD) and the least square (LS) techniques and also proposes the application of the SVD technique for extracting the parameters of the grid voltage waveform. With a small size window, the proposed SVD technique can extract amplitudes and phase angles of all the frequency components present in the Prony modelled grid voltage waveform more accurately than the LS technique. Moreover, the proposed technique has the ability to estimate the grid voltage parameters accurately from the singular matrix, where the LS technique fails. The SVD technique is applied on the Vandermonde matrix formed by the known damping factors and frequencies of the Prony modelled grid voltage waveform in order to estimate the amplitudes and phase angles. Moreover, an algorithm, which avoids the rooting of higher order polynomial, is presented to estimate the unknown harmonic frequencies from the harmonically distorted grid voltage waveform, where the fundamental frequency is estimated from a predicted fundamental frequency variation zone. Synthetically generated grid voltage waveforms are used in MATLAB to depict the superior performance of the proposed SVD technique over the LS technique.

In this paper, the impact of large-scale penetration of distributed generation (DG) system in the presence of non-linear loads is addressed. The effect of different DG penetration levels on the grid side current harmonics is examined. It is found that current harmonics generated by downstream non-linear loads with a TDD (total demand distortion) that is compliant with IEEE Standards can lead to significantly high THD (total harmonic distortion) values at the grid side under certain loading scenarios. These low magnitude highly distorted currents may cause protection circuitry and grid-synchronizing circuitry malfunctioning, and may even cause a resonance condition with power factor correction capacitor on the network. This paper further presents a control application of Photovoltaic (PV) solar plant based DG inverter o mitigate the above harmonics problem. The increased harmonic level issue and the application of PV solar plant to mitigate such problem have been demonstrated both by MATLAB/ SIMULINK simulation studies and laboratory experimental results.

With the high penetration of distributed generations (DG) in low voltage (LV) distribution network, some power quality problems, such as harmonic impacts due to power electronics converters, are unavoidable. This paper analyzes the harmonic influence caused by DG inverters to the connection points and to other nodes in the network. The LV distribution network model with DG inverters is established by MATLAB/Simulink. And simulation results verify the analysis. Power quality issues of connection point when multiple DG inverters connected to LV network are presented in field measurements and some related problems are discussed.

The increase in the power levels of photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems has resulted in new large-scale grid connected configurations that have reached the megawatt level. This substantial increment in the power levels imposes new challenges to the grid interfacing converter, and therefore results in new opportunities to be explored. This work introduces a new medium voltage multilevel scheme based on a three-phase cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converter and multiple PV strings. The proposed configuration enables a large increase of the total power capacity of the PV system, while the introduction of a multilevel converter helps to improve both power quality and efficiency and medium voltage operation at the grid side. The main challenge of the proposed configuration is to handle the inherent power imbalances that occur not only between the different cells of one phase of the converter but also between the three phases. Simulation results of a 7-level CHB PV system are presented to validate the proposed topology and control method.

In this paper, a new control strategy for megawatt scale multilevel photovoltaic (PV) inverters under partial shading is proposed. In the proposed system, the photovoltaic arrays are divided into zones and each zone is connected to DC to AC inverter. The DC to AC inverters of multiple zones are connected in series to form the required medium voltage and transfer power to the grid. In such a system where all zones are uniformly illuminated, the output voltage vectors of all the inverters are of equal magnitude and in phase with each other. However, under partial shading, the output voltage magnitude and phase angles of individual DC to AC inverters need to be adjusted in such a way that the available real power is transferred to the grid and the power factor of the overall system is as close to unity as possible. A control strategy is developed to operate the series connected multilevel inverter configuration under partial shading, by continuously monitoring the real and reactive powers supplied by each inverter. The developed strategy does not require a central controller and/or communications between the various DC to AC inverter blocks. The proposed control strategy is simulated for a 6.6 kV, three phase utility scale PV system rated at 5 MW.

Dc-dc interfacing of photovoltaic (PV) modules into the downstream system is usually done by using a boost-power-stage converter with an added input capacitor. Its dynamic properties are often assumed to be equal to those of a conventional boost converter. The input voltage of the converter is most often feedback controlled to achieve maximum power transfer in PV applications, which actually changes the converter to be a current-fed converter. This paper will show that the boost-power-stage converter with an added input capacitor has thoroughly different dynamic properties than those of the conventional voltage-fed boost converter. The effect of input-side control on the output impedance and the mode of the output port are also discussed.
