Grid-Integrated Solar Power Transferring Technology Alongside High Gain Multilevel Inverter for Power Quality Improvement

The growth of renewable energy, particularly photovoltaic systems, has created a demand for advanced technologies that can enhance power quality and facilitate grid integration. The Photovoltaic power transferring system integrates PV arrays, battery energy storage, DC-DC Cuk converters, and high-gain multilevel inverters. These converters are gaining significance due to their reliability in grid-connected and standalone photovoltaic systems. They are crucial in optimizing energy conversion and generating Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals, which control the output power. The proposed system utilizes the Incremental Conductance (INC) method for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to capture the maximum energy from the PV panels. This configuration offers several advantages over existing systems that use cascaded multilevel inverters, including increased power conversion efficiency, reduced harmonic distortions, and enhanced grid synchronization. The INC algorithm is implemented in real-time for MPPT, ensuring that the PV system operates at its maximum power point, maximizing energy harvest and adapting to changing environmental conditions and load variations in MATLAB Simulink while minimizing harmonic distortion.
