The Utility meter indicates that it takes now around 1100 W (2500 W residential load - 1364 W supplied by PV) from the grid to supply the home total load.During your trial you will have complete digital access to FT.com with everything in both of our Standard Digital and Premium Digital packages. With this voltage, 1364 W is extracted from the PV string which is the GMPP value. (4)Ět 0.7s, the MPPT controller has set the boost duty cycle at 0.58 generating a PV string voltage of 168 V. (3)Ět 0.4s, a duty cycle scan of 0.25 seconds is performed by the MPPT controller to find the GMPP point. As you can see on the PV curve characteristic, the system is operating at a local maximum power point but not at the global maximum power point. With this voltage, 920 W is extracted from the PV string. When steady-state is reached at 0.35s, the MPPT controller has set the boost duty cycle at 0.44, generating a PV string voltage of 225 V. (2)Ět 0.3s, a partial shading condition is created by reducing the irradiance on some PV modules. The Utility meter indicates that the system takes almost no power from the grid to supply the home total load. The solar system generates 2400 Watts and the DC link is maintained at 400 volts with a small 120-Hz ripple due to the single-phase power extracted from the PV string. (1)Ět 0.25s, with a solar irradiance of 1000 W/m2 on all PV modules, steady state is reached. Run the simulation and observe the resulting signals on the various scopes. The inverter, the 2500 W residential load as well as the neighbors' load are connected to the 240V secondary winding.

The transformer 240 volt secondary winding is center-tapped and the central neutral wire is grounded. The grid is modeled using a typical pole-mounted transformer and an ideal AC source of 14.4 kVrms. The controller uses a voltage regulator outer loop and a fast inner loop current regulator to generate the appropriate reference voltage (Vref) for the PWM generator controlling the full-bridge converter. The Inverter Controller: The inverter control maintain the DC link voltage at 400 V while keeping a unity power factor.
