Three-phase grid-connected of photovoltaic generator using nonlinear control

This paper proposes a nonlinear control methodology for three phase grid connected of PV generator. It consists of a PV arrays; a voltage source inverter, a grid filter and an electric grid. The controller objectives are threefold: (i) ensuring the Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in the side of PV panels, (ii) guaranteeing a power factor unit in the side of the grid, (iii) ensuring the global asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. Based on the nonlinear model of the whole system, the controller is carried out using a Lyapunov approach. It is formally shown, using a theoretical stability analysis and simulation results that the proposed controller meets all the objectives.
