  • Abstract
    This paper presents the detailed design and modeling of grid integrated with the Photovoltaic Solar Power Generator. As the Photovoltaic System uses the solar energy as one of the renewable energies for the electrical energy production has an enormous potential. The PV system is developing very rapidly as compared to its counterparts of the renewable energies. The DC voltage generated by the PV system is boosted by the DC-DC Boost converter. The utility grid is incorporated with the PV Solar Power Generator through the 3-□ PWM DC-AC inverter, whose control is provided by a constant current controller. This controller uses a 3-□ phase locked loop (PLL) for tracking the phase angle of the utility grid and reacts fast enough to the changes in load or grid connection states, as a result, it seems to be efficient in supplying to load the constant voltage without phase jump. The complete mathematical model for the grid connected PV system is developed and simulated. The results verify that the proposed system is proficient to supply the local loads.
