Abstract

A grid-connected photovoltaic system is the least
expensive and lowest-maintenance option for a home solar
electric system. This system consists of solar cells for energy
extraction from the sun and power converters for grid interface
that converts the output dc voltage into ac. In this paper, an
innovative control method for grid-connected PV converter is
proposed. This method can control the injection of power created
by solar arrays into the network; compensate reactive power and
harmonics of load currents. Furthermore, the proposed control
method permits the supplying of the load power consumption
(active and reactive), in the case of grid failure. One of the most
significant benefits of this technique is that if the power produced
by solar arrays is less than the power of inverters, the rest of the
capacity can be utilized for compensating the reactive power and
filtering harmonics of load currents, so as to make the current
drawn from the grid completely sine at unity power factor.
