Simulation of photovoltaic grid connected inverter in case of grid-failure
In this paper, a behavioural model of photovoltaic grid connected system is presented and simulated. The photovoltaic generator and a single phase inverter are modelled both by the well known one diode model and a current controlled voltage source respectively. The indirect current control method has been applied to achieve the inverter current control in order to feed a sinusoidal current waveform to the ac grid. Finally, normal and faulty conditions of the photovoltaic generation, especially in the case of grid failure, were simulated and commented.

Modeling and Simulation of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2011
Modeling and simulation of a grid-connected photovoltaic system (GCPS) is addressed in this paper to analyze its control performance and dynamics under changing irradiation. A circuit model of solar array considering irradiation is used to simulate its inherent characteristics and realized by a controlled current source. The controls of the GCPS and its electrical circuits are represented by user-defined and built-in components. The dynamic of the system in normal and fault conditions are dominated by its power controller and a method to set PI controller’s parameters is proposed in this paper. The model has been implemented on DIgSILENT. Simulation results are presented and compared with experiment waves to validate that proposed simulation model is effective for evaluation of the GCPS.
Modeling and Simulation of Grid Inverter in Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System
International Journal of Renewable Energy Research, 2014
This paper presents the development of inverter simulation model in Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System (GCPV) in Matlab/Simulink software. This work is a part of the development of a complete GCPV system simulation model. The inverter simulation model accepts solar irradiance and temperature parameters as inputs (at PV array) and outputs AC power. A phaseshift control method is used to ensure that the inverter output is synchronized with unity power factor to the utility grid. The developed model is validated against data obtained from an actual installed GCPV system at Malaysia Green Technology Corporation (MGTC) in Bangi, Malaysia with system capacity of 45.35 kWp. The validation of model is through Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Results showed that inverter output power from simulation is acceptable with small deviation from the actual data. This is due to inaccuracies of predicting de-rating factors listed in this work.

A new method of current control strategy for grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system is presented in this paper. The connection of photovoltaic system with the grid is a difficult task as the solar irradiation is a nonlinear quantity. The objective of this work is to develop a model of the photovoltaic system with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system connected to 11 KV grid by implementing new control technique so that maximum active power transfer from PV to grid can be taken place without injection of harmonics. The considered system consists of a PV system, MPPT controller, boost converter, voltage source inverter (VSI), 3-Φ filter, a control system, a distribution network, load and grid. In the beginning, a model of a photovoltaic array was developed and then a MPPT controller and a direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter are designed. To connect PV system to grid, a power electronics converter is needed which can convert DC voltage into three-phase AC voltage. Three-phase VSI using insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) is used. By means of a step-up transformer and filter, this three-phase VSI is connected to the distribution network. The proposed control of the three-phase grid-connected solar PV system is designed in the synchronously-rotating d-q reference frame. Here, V dc is measured, then compared with V dcref and accordingly the error is fed to proportional-integral (PI) controller from which I dref is generated. As PV system should inject only active power, so reactive power injected to grid is made zero by making I qref zero. There after the final model is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK and different output waveforms are analyzed for different conditions. Finally the fault analysis is carried out to observe the behavior of the system.

INTRODUCTION The vast improvement of the recent common economy is a crisis factor of energy as well as the environment, that needs to decrease the requirement on conventional energy besides level improvement of utilization and enlargement of the energy resources such as renewable gradually [1], [2]. By concentrating on renewable source types, solar photovoltaic (PV) can be considered as the main contributors in the world energy sources due to unlimited offer features of power generation in addition to its clean (i.e. no emitted pollution and considers100% environment friendly), therefore it may be a completely renewable energy technology which has afforded an expansion potential in addition to their world's quickest developing industries [3], [4]. A photovoltaic (PV) system utilizes a solar cell for converting the solar energy to electricity with depends on the photoelectric effect. PV system basically is a cell which may be classified as mono-crystalline, poly-crystalline, organic cell, amorphous, and Nano-PV cells. Now the technology of PV can be used in various applications like plants of solar power, PV grid-connected, home-produced usage, power communication, satellites, and currently aircrafts as well as electric vehicle applications [5]-[7]. In applications of photovoltaic (PV) system, it's necessary to design a comprehensive system to activate the solar cells (SCs) with optimal conditions and maximum efficiencies. The Maximum power point (MPP) is changing greatly with depending on the sunlight angle on the panel surface in addition to cell temperature, therefore the MPP may not be considered as the load operating point of PV system. PV systems can be designed for comprising many required modules with the purpose of supplying reliable energy for the grid [8], [9]. The feeding of electricity by Grid-connected PV systems are directly active with electrical network and working in parallel with a conventional power source.
