The paper propose a new control of a three-phase three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter in photovoltaic generation systems. The control scheme is mainly based on voltage-oriented control (VOC) with an improved maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT). A cascaded control structure with an outer dc link voltage control loop and an inner current control loop is used. The currents are controlled in a synchronous dq reference frame using a decoupled feedback control. Furthermore, in order to achieve a unity power factor, the q-axis current reference is set to zero. The experimental results have proven an excellent performance and verified the validity of proposed system.
