This paper presents a single phase five level photovoltaic (PV) inverter topology for grid connected PV systems with a novel Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) control scheme. Two reference signals identical to each other with an offset equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate PWM signals for the switches. A digital Proportional-Integral derivative (PID) curre...

6.1 INTRODUCTION The previous chapters have discussed the development of the MPPT algorithm and the control of the DC-DC converter in a standalone PV system. A grid-connected PV system is composed of a photovoltaic array, DC-DC converter, DC link capacitor, single phase DC-AC inverter, filter inductor, power grid, and non-linear load. The grid interconnection of a PV power generation system has...
