A. PV Array
A one diode model is used to represent one PV cell in the
PV array. The total output current for the PV cell can be
calculated by taking a difference between the photo electric
current ( I ph ) and the diode current ( I D ) as shown in Fig 2.

B. PV Inverter
A three bridge two level voltage source inverter (6 pulse
configuration) is used. This inverter takes the dc voltage
(V dc ) as voltage input, while 6 gate pulses (generated by the
control systems) as a control input to provide three phase
sinusoidal voltage to the AC side (V abc ). The details of the
control systems are explained in detail below. The Simulink
/SimPowerSystemslibrary block Universal Bridge is used in
this model, which is a detailed switching model of the
inverter.
C. Filters
The three phase unfiltered output of the PV inverter
contains high frequency harmonics. Harmonics are filtered via
LC filter which gives a sinusoidal output to the grid.
D. Control System
The control systems of the PV system consist of: dc voltage
controller, inner current controller, MPPT controller and
PWM signal generator. Three phase sinusoidal voltage and
current from the PCC are measured and given as inputs to the
control systems.
These three phase voltages and currents are converted into
the dq-frame. Dc voltage and dc current are taken as input to
the MPPT control which gives the d-axis reference current.
An inner current controller compares the reference grid
currents ( id ref & iq ref ) with the dq frame component of the
actual grid currents ( i d & i q ). These comparisons provide
modulating switching signals ( m d & m q ) which are further
converted to gate pulse signals to the PV inverter using the
PWM generator. The detailed control system is shown in Fig.
3.
The space phasor variables are projected into the dq-frame.
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) regulates v sq to zero in order to
synchronize space phasors with the dq frame variables. By
doing so, active and reactive power can be controlled as
follows

The main objective of this type of control is that both active
and reactive power can be independently controlled. Active
power can be controlled by regulating i d and similarly
reactive power can be controlled by controlling i q .

e. MPPT Control
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control is applied in
order to ensure maximum output power. The output power of
the PV array can be controlled by regulating the dc link
voltage. Perturb and Observe (P & O) is a widely used MPPT
technique and was implemented in this work [9]. The method
perturbs the dc link voltage, if the power increases by
increasing the voltage (dP/dV >0), the voltage continues to
increase to reach the maximum power point (MPP). Whereas,
if dP/dV <0, the voltage will be decreased to reach MPP in
order to maximize the power.
