Abstract

This paper explores the challenges associated with the control of a two-stage three-phase electrical grid connected to a photovoltaic (PV) system. The core control objectives encompass: i) Maximizing the utilization of available power from the PV panel; ii) Regulating the DC-link voltage to a predetermined reference; and iii) Ensuring power factor correction (PFC) on the grid side. To achieve these objectives, two loops nonlinear controller are developed. In the outer loop, the duty cycle of a boost converter is controlled using integral backstepping technique with the perturb & observe (P&O) algorithm, which provides reference voltages to track maximum power points, and Lyapunov theory to ensure the system’s stability. In addition, the Inner loop is designed using proportional integrator (PI) controller to ensure the unit power factor correction. An assessment of the proposed method is conducted through a comparative study with the backstepping technique, demonstrating the effectiveness of the suggested solution. The results have been validated by numerical simulation within MATLAB/Simulink power systems environment.

Abstract

This paper explores the challenges associated with the control of a two-stage three-phase electrical grid connected to a photovoltaic (PV) system. The objectives encompass: i) maximizing the available PV power, ii) controlling the DC-link voltage to a predetermined setpoint, and iii) considering that power quality has become an important measure in a distribution electrical network where different loads are connected, the third objective will mainly focus on ensuring power factor correction (PFC). To achieve these objectives, two loops of nonlinear controller are developed. In the outer loop, the duty cycle of a boost converter is controlled using a hybrid technique of backstepping technique and the perturb & observe (P&O) algorithm. In addition, the inner loop employs a hybrid automaton approach to tackle the challenges of a three-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF). The results have been verified through numerical simulation using MATLAB/Simulink power systems environment.
