 INTRODUCTION
• The rapid expansion of photovoltaic systems has created problems of network
stability, voltage and frequency regulation, protections selectivity of the lines
and power quality. In this context, the models of grid connected PV system play
an important role since they allow to perform accurate simulation and can be
used to study how the PV systems interacts with the grid. A grid connected PV
system consists of two part: the dc and the ac. The dc part includes the PV array
and the dc-dc converter (buck, boost, buck-boost, cϋk, sepic) for tracking the
maximum power point. The ac part consists of inverter that convert the dc
power generated from PV array and feed it into the grid.
 Aim of the Project

Aim :
• The system has been implemented in Matlab/Simulink and has been tested
experimentally by comparing the measured power profiles with simulated power
profiles. The index RMSE between simulated and real values is always less than 3%.
Moreover, the implemented control strategy allows to control the active and
reactive power flow separately, hence the developed model can be used to study
the difficult problem of voltage regulation.

 ABSTRACT
• The massive spread of distributed generation has created
problems difficult to solve. Grid connected system models
allows to perform simulations to study how these systems
interact with the grid. In literature there are no complete
model of single phase grid connected systems. The aim of this
work is the study and the complete description of a single
phase grid connected system in all its part: inverter, unipolar
SPWM, inverter control strategy, Phase Locked Loop and filter.
The developed model has been tested both numerically and
experimentally. The implemented inverter control strategy
allows to regulate the active and reactive power flow
separately. Therefore, the developed model is able to regulate
the voltage of the point of common coupling (PCC) through the
reactive power control.

 OBJECTIVE
• The system has been implemented in
Matlab/Simulink and has been tested
experimentally by comparing the measured
power profiles with simulated power profiles. The
index RMSE between simulated and real values is
always less than 3%. Moreover, the implemented
control strategy allows to control the active and
reactive power flow separately, hence the
developed model can be used to study the
difficult problem of voltage regulation.
AC MODEL OF GRID CONNECTED PV SYSTEM

It generally consists of 3 main parts:

1) A dc/ac converter that has the objective to produce a
sinusoidal ac output whose magnitude and frequency
can be controlled.
2) A control unit that controls:
a) the active and reactive power flow between the
PV array and the grid;
b) the synchronization of the inverter and the
connection to the grid;
c) the power quality.
3) An output filter to limit the high order harmonics
component in output current and voltage.

 Unipolar Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation
(SPWM)

In order to generate currents and voltages variable in amplitude and

frequency, a modulation strategy has to be applied. There are several
modulation strategy which differ for generation of devices driving
signals, for the value of harmonic components in voltage and current
and for the use of dc bus voltage. The modulation strategy used in
this work is the Unipolar Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation
(SPWM).
