Abstract

In this paper, the simulation and real time implementation of a space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) control scheme to demonstrate the high performance of the photovoltaic inverter when dSPACE is used as controller. The design and the simulation of electrical operation of a photovoltaic (PV) system controlled by an intelligent method enabling to track the maximum power produced by the photovoltaic generator are described. The simulation was performed in the Simulink/MATLAB environment and the PV output voltage is represented by a DC power supply of the inverter. Furthermore, tests are performed on experimental platform to implement the developed algorithms of SVPWM inverter used to convert the produced dc voltage to a variable AC voltage. The experimental waveforms such as ac output voltages, current and total harmonic distortion are presented and analyzed.
