Abstract
This paper presents a single-stage multilevel converter for grid interactive Photovoltaic (PV) system using a Cascaded Two-Level Inverter (CTLI). The converter uses less number of switches, less isolated DC sources and no extra components like capacitors and diodes which are used in conventional multilevel inverters (MLIs). The CTLI based grid tied Photovoltaic system tracks the maximum power produced by the PV array under varying insolation conditions and injects the active power into the grid. Additionally, the PV system is able to perform the reactive power compensation along with harmonics elimination for nonlinear load within the capacity of inverter. These multi-functionality increases overall utilization of the system. The control scheme of the CTLI based grid interactive PV system is developed using instantaneous power (p-q) theory. The control of CTLI based multifunctional grid interactive PV system is verified through MATLAB/Simulink simulations. The simulation results validate the performance of CTLI based grid tied PV system for MPPT as well as active and reactive power control for changing insolation and load conditions.
