I. INTRODUCTION Grid connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the distributed energy resource which converts DC power produced by solar PV into AC power in a form suitable for pumping into the grid. The main purpose of the grid connected solar PV system is to transfer maximum solar array energy into grid with unity power factor.
At the end of the paper, hardware results of the developed 5 kW rating solar inverter are presented. Hardware results have shown that the developed solar inverter is able to supply the harvested energy from the solar PV to the grid for all irradiance levels.
D. Current control In grid connected solar inverter, the output of the inverter must have higher value than the grid voltage. Since grid voltage is not under control, the only way to control the power fed to the grid is to control the current fed to the grid. Digital PI current controller is used for grid current control algorithm.
