Performance analysis and evaluation of a multifunctional grid-connected PV system using power hardware-in-the-loop simulation

Abstract

This paper describes the performance analysis of a multi-functional grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system using power hardware-in-the-loop simulation (PHILS). An intelligent control scheme for the multi-functional grid-connected PV power generation system is proposed and verified though the power hardware-in-the-loop simulation computer simulation and the digital signal processor TMS320F2812 controller under various irradiation and load conditions. The proposed hardware and control algorithm can easily be applied to the power quality enhancement of distribution system and improves the utilization of PV system.
