Abstract
In this chapter, we are interested to study the mathematical model of the PV cell, the PV generator, and their characteristics. Then, the control algorithm of the proposed system is detailed. The use of the newest power control mechanism called the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms leads to the increase in the efficiency of operation of the solar PV array and is effective in the field of utilization of renewable sources of energy. MPPT algorithm controls the power converters to continuously detect the instantaneous maximum power of the PV array. An intelligent method is here applied in the MPPT controller due to its simplicity and easy implementation. The grid-connected PV systems consist of the bidirectional inverter, PV panels, DC–DC inverter system, and AC–DC inverter. A bidirectional interface is made between the PV system and the utility power output with the application of an inverter. Consequently, the performance of the inverters connected to the grid depends largely on the control strategy applied. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of power converter topologies and control structures for grid-connected PV systems.
