Abstract
Stochastic dynamic behavior of solar energy necessitates the use of robust controllers for photovoltaic (PV) power electronics interfaces. Such robust controller maximizes the energy harvest through continuous operation using a maximum power point tracker (MPPT). A model predictive control MPPT (MPC-MPPT) is proposed in this paper for a quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) based grid-connected PV power system. MPC is a robust suboptimal controller and is proposed in this paper as an elegant, embedded controller. Such controller has shown better dynamic performance than the conventional perturb and observe (P&O) technique, particularly under rapidly changing meteorological conditions. The qZSI is a single-stage topology that can guarantee MPPT and control the injected power to the grid simultaneously. The proposed method simulation results are presented in this paper.
