•
Design, simulation and hardware implementation of the Multilevel (nine level) Inverter for Solar PV system
with Utility Grid Interfacing
- Developed a new current control algorithm which minimizes the shedding effect of solar panels while
ensuring the maximizing of captured energy (MPPT)
- Developed the control algorithm using Microchip dsPIC33FJ64GS610 microcontroller
- Designed a four layer PCB for a multilevel inverter with current and voltage sensing and fault protection
circuit using Schematic Capture and Layout Plus.
- Synchronization between the Utility Grid and the multilevel inverter and the control of power flow
