Abstract
This paper presents a control system that combines
photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected generation and power
quality managements. With the proposed structure, the
system can not only realize photovoltaic generation, but
also suppress current harmonics, compensate reactive
power, eliminate voltage sags or swells and mitigate
instantly power interruption and other power quality
problems. An adaptive predictive maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) algorithm is employed to improve the
efficiency of PV generation. To simplify the control, the
synchronous reference frame method is applied in
modeling the inverter. The structure of a faster internal
current control loop and a slower external voltage control
loop is used in order to obtain a good dynamic response.
The simulation results verify the good performance of the
proposed controller.
1. Introduction
Nowadays the solar energy has become one of the
most promising renewable energy due to its inexhaustible
and environmental advantages.
The photovoltaic
technology has been deeply researched and
popularized[1]. Grid-connected PV generation is one of
the major development trends of photovoltaic
applications. Meanwhile, with the development of the
power electronics industrialization process, a large
number of nonlinear loads have appeared. Harmonics and
reactive current from nonlinear load induce that the power
quality problems become more and more serious.
PV grid-connected generation operates during the day
and has to stop at night. This affects the stabilization of
power system and the utilization of equipment. Therefore,
in order to increase the utilization, the PV system can be
designed to also provide the function of power quality
managements [2]-[3].
This paper combines PV grid-connected generation
device and shunt active power filter. The unified system
can supply active power as well as current harmonics and
reactive power compensation when sunshine is available.
At weak irradiation, it has the all function of shunt active

been transformed into decoupled dynamics[9]. Hence, the

7. Conclusion
The proposed PV system in this paper has the functions
of PV grid-connected generation and power quality
compensation. An adaptive predictive algorithm based on
P&Q control idea is employed and achieved good results
in MPPT control of PV generation. Voltage vector
oriented reference frame models are used to control the
inverter. Theoretical analysis and MATLAB simulations
show that the control structure of double loop has good
dynamic performances and the proposed system can
realize PV generation, harmonics suppression and
reactive power compensation, as well as eliminating
voltage sags or swells.
