Abstract

Voltage control mode is preferable because of better bus voltage support and low reliance on communication. However, that is difficult to implement on photovoltaic inverter without robust voltage source. Meanwhile, photovoltaic arrays have some power management ability that usually neglected due to the use of MPPT, which in fact damages balanced power flow and a robust and stable grid. As a result, control of dc and ac side of photovoltaic inverter is usually separated and broken, where the dc side is usually supposed as an ideal voltage source and the corresponding relationships are neglected. This paper proposes a control scheme called photovoltaic generator for photovoltaic microgrid without robust voltage source, which imitates the principle of power conversion from mature synchronous generator theory. The scheme focuses on the active participation of solar energy in power management and voltage support. The effectiveness is verified in simulation and experiment.
