Abstract

This paper presents an alternative model of a grid interactive photovoltaic (PV) system which can be used for characterising the harmonics from a PV system when connected to a distorted and undistorted network respectively. The approach uses an orthogonal series function in modelling the different sections of a practical PV system thus yielding a complete harmonic domain model. The proposed model accurately handles the harmonic cross-coupling between the PV system and the network. Both single and three phase grid interactive single-stage transformerless PV systems are presented. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed model.
