Abstract


The article outlines a strategy for maximising the usage of renewable energy because solar energy is becoming more and more in demand as a result of recent developments in photovoltaic (PV) panels. We have connected solar energy to the grid in order to properly monetize and use it. The design and simulation of a two-stage converter system for integrating solar panels with the grid are the topics of this article. It is made up of a PV panel, a boost dc-dc converter to boost the voltage of the PV panel, a VSI to convert dc to ac, and lastly the grid. The Perturbe & observation algorithm is utilized to operate the PV panel at its maximum power point, and the system also functions in a variety of changing environmental circumstances. Reference frame control is used to adjust inverter output in relation to the grid. Three phase PLL is used to lock grid frequency & phase with respect to inverter output. A low pass LC filter is modelled to remove high frequency harmonics from the inverter output which is fed to grid as well as proposed test system of utility network. The power quality enhancement of grid and load parameter profiles in terms of comparative performance improvement (CPI) is evaluated with more than 75% and 22% respectively which shows the effectiveness of proposed research work in all events. All the simulations are carried out in Simulink. The study has been carried out in MATLAB environment.
