Single-Stage Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System Based on Sliding Mode and PI Control

Single-state grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system has only one stage of power conversion and the control objectives needed to be considered simultaneously include synchronization with the utility voltage, harmonics reduction for grid-connected current and etc. Then the complexity of control strategy is increased. To deal with the characteristics, sliding mode controller is used to achieve the synchronization between grid-connected current and grid voltage and to control the waveform of grid-connected current, and the slide surface is designed based on PI method. Σ−Δ modulator is proposed to achieve the fixed switching frequency. Simulation results show that the system has good performance and the system is feasible.
