STEVAL-ISV003V1

250 W microinverter for plug-in PV panels demonstration board

Data brief

Features
■ Input voltage range from 20 V to 40 V
■ Output voltage 230 V AC, 50 Hz
■ Grid connection algorithm and MPPT capability
■ Digital control section managed by the STM32
■ Reactive power management
■ RS-232 for communication
■ RoHS compliant

Description
The STEVAL-ISV003V1 is a demonstration board
which implements the microinverter concept and STEVAL-ISV003V1
is designed to optimize the power production of
each single solar panel by means of DC-AC In open-loop mode the sinusoidal reference is
conversion. The conversion system is capable of created internally by means of a standard lookup
both grid synchronization and maximum power table, while in closed-loop mode, a sinusoidal
point tracking (MPPT) thanks to the use of an voltage feedback which is proportional to the grid
advanced control algorithm implemented in the voltage is used. This system can be connected to
32-bit STM32 microcontroller. The MPPT function a 50 Hz network (STEVAL-ISV003V1) and to a 60
is based on the perturb and observe (P & O) Hz network (STEVAL-ISV003V2), based on local
concept which seeks the best operating point of requirements. The RS-232 interface can be used
the panel, thus maximizing the energy produced for serial data transfer of specified voltage, current
under any environmental condition. The grid and current signals.
synchronization algorithm has the advantage over
standard solutions of a decoupled control of
active and reactive power. The STEVAL-
ISV003V1 demonstration board uses a high-
frequency (HF) isolated DC-DC converter with
interleaved current and an optimized full-bridge
DC-AC inverter. The typical solar panel voltage is
first stepped up to about 400 V and then
converted into AC to create a sinusoidal output.
An LED display provides a user-friendly interface
for the end user which allows the monitoring
and/or modifying of some of the main operating
parameters. Two modes of operation are available
and can be selected to allow either open-loop
operation or closed-loop operation in
synchronization with the grid.
