ANN Controller Based Single phase Inverter in Smart City

Abstract

Solar-grid integration is a method for incorporating large amounts of photovoltaic (PV) supply to the grid. Advanced inverter technology, smart grids technology, islanding detection technology, solar-grid forecasting technology, grid-plant protection technology and are all part of solar-grid synchronization technology. Many methods are used to control inverters, including sinusoidal pulse width modulation, selective harmonic suppression pulse width modulation, space vector width modulation. Among control methods, pulse width modulation is the most popular. PWM inverters are used for two different switching techniques: bipolar and unipolar. The primary goal of this paper is to create an inverter that will convert a solar DC power source to an AC power source that can be used to power a load or connected directly to the utility grid. In this work, the control of inverter output voltage is done without the need for any user intervention, but only with the intervention of an AI technique, and it is compared to existing methods.
