Abstract

In this paper, the development of three-phase photovoltaic (PV) inverter by using dSPACE DS1104 controller board is discussed. The controller generates a sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) signals for power switching, which is designed to maintain a 50 Hz sinusoidal output with a low total harmonic distortion (THD). The simulation results based on the MATLAB/Simulink with dSPACE RTI library justifies the inverter performance are presented. In this study, a standalone PV inverter is used and the PV voltage is represented by a dc voltage source.
