“…Recently, studies on two-stage grid converter structures of standalone applications have been limited. In [14], a twostage single-phase PV system designed to operate in a standalone configuration without batteries was presented. The authors concluded that the device could adequately provide stand-alone power without the use of batteries.…”

Standalone solar PV systems have emerged as potential alternatives to electricity problems in areas where a grid is unavailable. Obtaining full power from a photoelectric system, DC-DC inverter, DC-AC converter, and control system presents great difficulties when building these devices. A standalone twostage approach is introduced in this work with a boost converter followed by an inverter and a battery with a bidirectional converter. In this paper, a novel virtual synchronous generator (VSG) controller is designed and implemented to adjust the inverter output. The VSG element and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) used in this study serve the following purposes: to adjust the inverter output and to realize the maximum power of the PV scheme. The new control strategy design was evaluated and validated using extensive MATLAB simulations under different scenarios, including load variations. The system output was evaluated using extensive MATLAB simulations. A hands-on experiment was conducted for the VSG using console testing. Due to the lack of laboratory equipment, we could not experiment with the entire system.INDEX TERMS MPPT, DC-DC boost converter, PV array, virtual synchronous generator, two-stage converter, DC-AC inverter, battery.

“…Two common types of sinusoidal pulse width modulation techniques for inverters are unipolar and bipolar switching. Unipolar switching for a conventional inverter is better than bipolar switching in terms of efficiency [13]. Comparison of single stage and two-stage topologies for PV application is performed in terms of power quality and efficiency [14]- [16].…”

Quazi Z source inverter has an advantage that it can boost or buck voltage to be given to an inverter. Operation of a QZSI is similar to a Z source inverter (ZSI). A conventional photovoltaic application uses a two-stage topology of boost converter and an inverter. A QZSI can be replaced for a two-stage topology to serve the purpose. A 3 KW single phase QZSI is designed and simulated for a standalone photovoltaic system in this paper. The results for total harmonic distortion (THD) of output voltage and mean time between failure (MTBF) of the overall system is compared with a conventional ZSI and two-stage topology for the same rating. MTBF of the overall system is computed using reliability block diagram method. Reliability curve is also plotted for all the three considered topologies.
