The output characteristics of solar cell vary with load and solar insolation. Therefore solar cell must always track maximum power point. If photovoltaic system is stand-alone. It is necessary to maintain for output of voltage source inverter. In this paper, stand-alone photovoltaic system consists of boost chopper and voltage source inverter. We make it to track maximum power point by revolution of solar cell array instead of detecting situation of sun in any conditions. And we prove that maximum power point tracking by revolution of solar cell array is better than fixed solar cell.

Dual-mode photovoltaic power system should be capable of operating in grid-connected (GC) and stand-alone (SA) modes for distributed generation. Under different working modes, the optimal parameters of inverter output filters vary. Inverters commonly operate in GC mode, and thus, a small capacitance is beneficial to the GC topology for achieving a reasonable compromise. A predictive current control scheme is proposed to control the grid current in GC mode and thereby obtain high-performance power. As filter are not optimal under SA mode, a compound control strategy consisting of predictive current control, instantaneous voltage control, and repetitive control is proposed to achieve low total harmonic distortion and improve the output voltage spectrum. The seamless transfer between GC mode and SA mode is illustrated in detail. Finally, the simulation and experimental results of a 4 kVA prototype demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

This study presents a strategy using the synchronized output regulation method (SOR) for controlling inverters operating in stand-alone and grid-connected modes. From the view point of networked dynamic systems, SOR involves nodes with outputs that are synchronized but also display a desirable wave shape. Under the SOR strategy, the inverter and grid are treated as two nodes that comprise a simple network. These two nodes work independently under the stand-alone mode. An intermediate mode, here is named the synchronization mode, is emphasized because the transition from the stand-alone mode to the grid-connected mode can be dealt as a standard SOR problem. In the grid-connected mode, the inverter operates in an independent way, in which the voltage reference changes for generalized synchronization where its output current satisfies the required power injection. Such a relatively independent design leads to a seamless transfer between operation modes. The closed-loop system is analyzed in the state space on the basis of the output regulation theory, which improves the robustness of the design. Simulations and experiments are performed to verify the proposed control strategy.

A novel multilevel PWM inverter is presented for the use of stand-alone photovoltaic power generation system. In appearance, it consists of three full-bridge modules and three cascaded transformers; therefore, the configuration of the proposed multilevel PW inverter is equal to that of a prior 11-level PWM inverter. Only the turn-ratio of a transformer and its corresponding switching function are different from each other. Owing to these differences, the proposed 19-level PWM inverter has two promising advantages. First, output voltage levels increase almost twofold. Consequently, it can generate more sinusoidal output voltage waveform. Second, due to a revised switching pattern, it lightens power imposed on the transformer, which is used for compensating output voltages with chopped pulses between steps. The validity of the proposed inverter system is verified by computer-aided simulations and experimental results based on a 1 ［kW］ prototype. The performance of the proposed 19-level PWM inverter is compared with the Prior 11-level PWM inverter and other counterparts.

This paper proposes a mode transition algorithm between the grid-tied and the stand-alone operations for the single-phase inverter with the energy storage system. For the grid-tied operation, the dc-link voltage and the output current are required to be control. For the stand-alone mode, both the output voltage and the output current should be regulated. In order to mitigate a falling-off in control performance during transients in mode change, the load power estimation and the current selection schemes are proposed. The proposed method allows an optimized current reference is selected to reduce an output voltage drop and an excessive over-current in transient. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, both the simulation and the experiments for a 3kW single-phase inverter with the energy storage system have been conducted. From the results, it has been confirmed that the proposed method reduces a transient error as well as implementing smooth mode transition.

In this paper, a stand-alone wound rotor induction generator system is proposed and its steady state characteristics are analyzed. It is shown that the self-excitation of the system can be acheined by exciting the rotor through the PWM inverter. The analysis is based upon the eguivalent circuit and the steady state dq model of the mahine. The results show that the proposed system can be made to generate constant voltage constant frequency power for various speed and load conditions.

A grid connected inverter must be operated as the main electricity source under an isolated condition caused by the grid problem. Conventionally, the dual loop controller is used for the grid inverter, and the controller is used for control under the stand-alone mode. Generally, the PI(Proportional - Integral) controller is highly efficient under a synchronous reference frame, and stable control can be available. However, in this synchronous frame-based control, high-quality DSP is required because many sinusoidal calculations are necessary. When the PI control is conducted under a stationary frame, the controller constructions are made simple so that they work even with a low-price micro controller. However, given the characteristics of the PI controller, it should be designed with the phase of reference voltage considered. Otherwise, the phase delay of the output voltage can occur. Although the current controller also has a higher bandwidth than the voltage controller, distortion of the voltage is difficult to avoid only by the rapid response of the PI controller, as a sudden load change can occur in the nonlinear load. In this study, a new control method that solves the voltage controller bandwidth problem and rapidly copes with it even in the nonlinear load situation is proposed. The validity of the proposed method is proved by simulation and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 하프ㆍ풀-브리지 셀을 이용하는 새로운 멀티레벨 인버터를 제안하고 독립형 태양광 인버터로서의 가능성을 평가한다. 기본 회로 구조는 기존의 11-레벨형 PWM 인버터에 기초하며 세 개의 풀-브리지 모듈 중 하나의 모듈을 하프-브리지 구조로 대체한다. 이 간단한 회로 구조의 변경으로 제안된 멀티레벨 인버터는 세 가지의 장점을 가지게 된다. 첫째, 출력 전압 레벨 수의 증가를 통해 보다 정현적인 출력 전압 파형을 형성 시킬 수 있다. 둘째, 풀-브리지 모듈 대신 하프-브리지 셀을 이용하므로 두 개의 전력 스위치를 줄일 수 있다. 셋째, 쵸핑용으로 이용되는 인버터와 결합된 변압기에 의해 부하로 전달되는 전력량을 저감 시킬 수 있어 전체 효율 개선에 유리하다. 즉, 대부분의 전력은 저주파 스위칭 동작으로 기본 출력전압을 형성하는 인버터와 이와 결합된 변압기에 의해 부하단으로 전달되고, 고주파 스위칭을 하는 쵸핑용 인버터와 이와 결합된 변압기를 통한 출력은 최종 출력전압을 보다 정현화 하기 위한 목적으로 사용되도록 한다. 기존의 11-레벨형 PWM 인버터와 비교를 통해 제안하는 인버터를 평가하고, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 통해 독립형 태양광 인버터로서의 가능성을 입증한다.

This paper proposes a stand alone type single-phase fuel cells micro-source with a voltage sag compensator for compensating the ac output voltage variations (sag or swell) of micro-source. The proposed micro-source is consist of a PEM(polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cells simulator, a full bridge de converter, a 60Hz PWM(pulse width modulation) VSI(voltage source inverter), and a voltage sag compensator. Voltage sag compensator is similar to the configuration of hybrid series active power filter, and it is directly connected to micro-source through the injection transformer. Compensation algorithm of a voltage sag compensator adopts a single phase p-q theory. Effectiveness of the proposed the system is verified by the PSIM(power electronics simulation tool) simulation in the steady state and transient state which the proposed system is able to simultaneously compensate the harmonic current and source voltage sag or swell.
