Microinverter for PV Grid Integration

Photovoltaic (PV) generation is incredibly important for several reasons, impacting both the environment and our energy security. MPPTs and Power electronics inverters are deployed in PV generation systems to maximize the power generation capabilities of PV system and make it suitable for consumer utilization. A microinverter in PV systems converts DC electricity generated by a single solar module into AC. Unlike traditional inverters that handle the entire solar array's output, microinverters are typically installed on individual panel basis. This allows each solar panel to operate independently, optimizing energy production and providing better performance in partially shaded conditions. Microinverters also offer monitoring capabilities, enabling users to track the performance of individual panels in real-time. This paper discusses MATLAB simulation and results of grid integrated micro inverters. The micro inverters are tuned to maximize the power produced by PV panels and deliver steady power to the grid. The THD value with microinverter is recorded to be 3.08%
