Research on Modeling and Control Strategy for Two-Stage Photovoltaic Grid-Connected System

Abstract

This paper has built the mathematic model of the single-phase two-stage photovoltaic(PV) grid-connected system. The model consists of a boost DC/DC converter and a DC/AC inverter with LCL filter. On the basis of the variable step perturbation and observation method(P&O), the boost converter changes the output voltage of the PV array by adjusting the duty cycle to realize the PV maximum power point tracking(MPPT). The inverter system restrains the voltage fluctuation effectively by using feed-forward of the grid voltage and current tracking control technology, which has the high performance in both sinusoidal reference tracking and disturbance rejection. LCL filter improves the dynamic performance and restrains the high harmonics efficiently. The simulation with Matlab soft confirms the effectiveness of the model and control strategy.
