Abstract

This paper presents a control of three phase two-stage grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system based on predictive control strategy. The main goals are: extract the maximum power point (MPP) delivered by PV arrays under irradiation variations and to inject it into the network with a high grid current quality. MPPT current oriented loop based on predictive control strategy is proposed and applied into the first stage (DC–DC Boost converter) in order to achieve high performance tracking. Furthermore, a Voltage oriented control based on predictive control strategy and space vector modulation SVM (VOC-PC-SVM) is applied into the second stage (Tow-level inverter) in order to control the grid currents. The proposed system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink and Simpower system packages. The obtained results prove that the proposed control strategy provides high performance control in term of MPP tracking and grid current quality under irradiation variations in accordance with international standards (IEEE-519).
