Abstract

Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems consist of solar panels that convert sunlight into electrical energy, interconnected directly with the utility grid. These systems comprise several key components: PV, multilevel, controllers, and grid interface equipment. In this context, fivelevel inverters are increasingly favoured over three-level inverters due to their ability to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD), improve efficiency, and ensure better power quality in grid-connected applications. This research presents a three-level enhanced control scheme aimed at optimizing the performance of a grid-connected photovoltaic system with a five-level inverter. A fractional-order proportional-integral (FOPI) controller is utilized for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to ensure precise tracking under variable irradiance conditions. At the grid-interface stage, a modified active disturbance rejection controller (MADRC) is developed for grid-interface, featuring an inner loop for DC-link voltage regulation based on Lyapunov theory, leading to improved dynamic performance with lower THD of the grid current and enhanced efficiency. Simulation results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed system. Compared with the FOPI-ADRC, a three-level configuration (0.38% THD), the proposed FOPI-MADRC with a five-level inverter achieves superior performance, with only (0.22% THD). These results confirm the advantages of combining advanced control strategies with multilevel inverter technology in improving both power quality and system efficiency.
