Analysis and investigation on photovoltaic based microgrid system using power converters

Abstract

Many countries are presently implementing photovoltaic (PV) newlinepower systems connected to the grid. Grid-connected PV power systems newlinemust overcome considerable challenges to get maximum power while newlinemaintaining acceptable system quality. Maximum power point trackers newline(MPPT) and efficient converters are required to harness the available newlinepower in any weather predicament. The primary objective of this research newlineis to examine the microgrid integration of solar systems within newlinepermissible total harmonic distortion (THD) limits, with the help of newlineintelligent controller fed advanced power conversion devices such as newlinesymmetrical hybrid switched inductor (SL) and switched capacitor (SC) newlinebased boost converter and modified cascade multilevel inverter (CMLI). newline
