Abstract:Since photovoltaic cell behaves the characteristics of current source, current-source converter (CSC) is suitable for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. Using multilevel structure has the advantages of good sinusoidal current wave, direct control to output current, low current stress for switching device and high equivalent switching frequency. A grid-connected PV system based on a new three-phase multilevel CSC is proposed, herein two PV modules are used as the DC supplies. Two DC-DC converters are inserted behind PV modules to implement maximum power point tracking (MPPT). On the grid side, a new three-phase multilevel CSC is used as grid-connected converter, by implanting PD-PWM technique of multilevel voltage-source converter (MVSC) into such multilevel CSC, which can effectively reduce the harmonic distortion. Combined with phase lock loop (PLL) and power decoupling control, the grid-connected strategy for such multilevel CSC is obtained to achieve random power factor (PF) operation. All the proposed concepts are verified by simulation models built in PSIM.
