Abstract


In recent years, with the development and utilization of renewable energy sources, various renewable energy power generation and network technology has become to be a research focus. Photovoltaic is a source of green energy which can generate electricity from sunlight using semiconductor materials. Solar energy is one of the important renewable energy sources in the 21st century. Because of its nature as it has no moving parts, also the electricity generated from it does not require any fuel. Another important feature is that there is no gaseous emissions (i.e., it is environment friendly). Moreover the solar energy is also an undeleted promising option for energy production.  This research paper will introduce a simple and effective controller of the grid connected PV array. Also will investigate controllability enhancement of it with higher penetration level of PV generation.


Keywords
