Simulation-Based Performance Study of a Solar Power Inverter for PV Applications
摘要
Recent years have seen a rise in the development of economically and environmentally sustainable power electronic converters driven by renewable energy sources across a range of industries, including home appliances, cars, as well as industries. Boosting and bucking voltage as necessary is also essential. This study simulates a whole AC cycle under certain sun irradiation conditions in order to assess the efficiency of a single-stage solar converter. The study evaluates the inverter's performance using a photovoltaic (PV) array's ideal DC voltage output and the corresponding AC RMS current. An essential part of solar power systems is the inverter, which converts the varying DC generated by solar panels into AC suitable for household appliances and grid integration. According to simulation results, the inverter operates steadily and effectively tracks the highest power point, achieving excellent conversion efficiency with less waveform distortion. Performance graphs show these results. The findings highlight the significance of precise modeling to increase energy conversion efficiency, optimize design parameters, and ensure reliable operation in both on-grid and off-grid PV systems.
