Grid integration of 10kW solar panel

Renewable energy resources such as wind and solar are more widely used for power generation. Photovoltaic panels are used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. Solar energy can be used for both stand alone and grid side applications. Grid tied systems are connected to electrical grid and allow residents of building to use solar energy. The photovoltaic system consists of PV panels connected through DC-DC converter and DC-AC inverter to the grid. The IV and PV characteristics of PV panels are used to determine the MPP. The MPPT algorithm used for tracking maximum power is incremental conductance algorithm. In addition to operate at the international standards, three phase PWM inverter with PI controller is used. This paper deals with the grid interaction of 10kW panel and the study of real power flow from the source to the utility grid.
