A PV-Powered Single Phase Seven-Level Inverter’s Photocurrent and Injected Power

Abstract

The PV inverter in this study is linked to the grid and its performance analysis is evaluated using a PI controller. It is a single phase multi-level PV inverter. The major objective of this research is to increase efficiency and eliminate harmonics caused by DC link voltage fluctuations created by Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) during foggy situations. PV inverters generate and inject actual power into the main grid. This study uses a transformer-less photovoltaic inverter to cut down on losses, cost, and size. A transformer-less multilayer inverter is described in this paper. There is no high-frequency leakage current since that inverter can distribute both actual and reactive electricity. MATLAB/Simulink software was used to analyze and assess the effects of various PV-based seven-level techniques on the device’s Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) performance.
