dynamic modeling and control of grid-connected photovoltaic systems based on amplitude-phase transformation

A voltage source inverter (vsi) is widely used as an interface for distributed generation (dg) systems. however, high-power applications with increasing voltage levels require an extra power converter to reduce costs and complications. thus, a current source inverter (csi) is used. this study presents a precise phasor modeling and control details for a vsi-based system for dg and compares it with a csi-based system. first, the dynamic characteristics of the system based on amplitude-phase transformation are investigated via small signal analysis in the synchronous reference frame. moreover, the performance of the grid-connected system is determined by adopting the closed-loop control method based on the obtained dynamic model. the control strategies employ an outer active-power loop cascaded with an inner reactive-power loop, which the inner loop is a single-input singleoutput system without coupling terms. the sensitivity analysis of the linearized model indicates the dynamic features of the system. the simulation results for the different conditions confirm proposed model and design of the controller
