POWER QUALITY AND MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING IN A GRID SYNCHRONISED PHOTO-VOLTAIC SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper presents an application of MPPT control for the integration of single phase single stage solar
photovoltaic (SPV) system to a multifunctional grid. The main aim of this integration of single-phase SPV system with
the grid comprises of harmonics elimination, reactive power compensation and PFC (Power Factor Correction). A VSC
is connected to the PV array.To maintain PV string voltage to the reference value PI controller is used. To estimate
reference PV voltage MPPT controller is used. To obtain fast dynamic response load components are utilized along with
the feed forward terms for SPV array. Simulation results are recorded performed on MATLAB-based environment for
the given system
