Abstract

This study presents a two-stage grid-tied three-phase inverter control topology capable of performing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and power flow control. This topology is derived from the single-stage grid-tied system. The grid-tied inverter requires a minimum value of DC input voltage for grid synchronization. So, the amount of power available at low or minimal environmental conditions cannot be utilized by single-stage topology. A two-stage grid-tied topology with PV–wind-based generation, MPPT-controlled boost converter, and three-phase inverter are implemented in MATLAB, Simulink, and the control logic is tested under varying environmental conditions. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the topology.
