Are microinverters used in photovoltaic (PV) applications?

This paper presents an overview of microinverters used in photovoltaic (PV) applications. Conventional PV string inverters cannot effectively track the optimum

Should PV inverter topologies be side-stepped?

This paper has presented a detailed review of different PV inverter topologies for PV system architectures and concluded as: except if high voltage is available at input single-stage centralised inverters should be side-stepped, to avoid further voltage amplification.

What is the control performance of PV inverters?

The control performance of PV inverters determines the system’s stability and reliability. Conventional control is the foundation for intelligent optimization of grid-connected PV systems. Therefore, a brief overview of these typical controls should be given to lay the theoretical foundation of further contents.

Which AI methods are used in PV inverter system optimization?

Other AI methods such as expert systems (ES), artificial neural networks (ANN or NNW), genetic algorithms (GA), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy algorithms (ANFIS) have also been applied to PV inverter system optimization .

What is inverter & PV topology?

In this topology, the integration of inverter and PV module is carried out in a single electrical device. It is a “plug and play” device and does not require expertise for its installation. The mismatch losses of the PV modules are eliminated in this topology . It has a modular design and can be easily expanded.

What is expert system in PV inverter system?

Expert system usually refers to a class of computerized intelligent program systems with expertise and experience . The current development of expert system design is relatively mature, however, its application in PV inverter system is still in its infancy . The fundamental structure of an expert system is illustrated in Figure 11.
