Low Power Photovoltaic Converter Control and Development
Abstract
The paper focuses on design and simulation ofthe low power inverter for photovoltaic application. In the
paper it is briefly discussed the DC/DC converter design for
the tracking MPP of the solar array and then the design of
the control algorithm for the output inverter is discussed.
Both possible operation modes - work in “island mode” and
operation in the supply grid are considered and a control
algorithms for them were developed and simulated.
Attention is also paid to the design of the output filter for
the converter.
