Analysis and MPPT control of PV module

Abstract

With the incorporation of solar energy as a major chunk of the total installed capacity of INDIA (with respect to RES) there is an acute need to efficiently explore the potential it holds to procure the aforementioned grail. The technique used in this paper endeavours to achieve a nearly sinusoidal output from solar radiations incident on PV panels that can be consolidated in our system without deteriorating the power quality. Maximum power is attained by Perturb and Observe MPPT technique through boost converter. Voltage is the perturbing parameter in the P&O MPPT. The output achieved from three phase VSI is highly distorted due to harmonics, to eliminate this crucial drawback LCL filter is used to reduce the THD and thus ameliorate the output. All functions are performed and shown by the MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
