Abstract

The traditional method of MPPT control for singlestage three/single-phase inverter typically adjusts the DC voltage reference corresponding to the power variation of PV array. This method usually has two control loops which exhibit slow response speed. This paper discusses the series connection model of solar panes and partial shading issue aroused by it. Then it proposes a direct current control method to realize MPPT for single-stage three-phase inverter featuring fast response against disturbance and reduces the DC voltage ripple. The proposed MPPT method is illustrated in detail accompanied with a stability analysis method. Simulation results are given to validate the proposed algorithm and theory.
