Advancing Grid Integration: Maximum Power Point Tracking-Based Model Predictive Current Control Technique for Photovoltaic Systems
Abstract: Tracking a PV system's maximum power point is necessary as demand for grid-connected solar systems rises, regardless of utility demand. Since the PV system's output is D.C., a converter serving as a middleman between the PV system and the D.C. link capacitor is necessary to track the maximum power at all loads. Since the firing angle of the IGBT in the boost converter is between 0 and 1 at maximum …
