Abstract

The traditional photovoltaic (PV) systems have several limitations, such as low voltage gain and inefficient power extraction, this study proposes a single-phase grid-connected PV system to increase solar power conversion and grid integration efficiency. A DC–DC NX cascaded converter is used by the system to boost the PV output voltage, and a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN)-based MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is used to maximise the PV panel’s power output. PWM signals are generated by a DSPIC30F4011 controller to regulate the inverter and converter stages. Furthermore, a DQ control theory-based Proportional Integral (PI) controller controls the inverter output and keeps it in sync with the utility grid. The proposed system achieves a converter efficiency of 93% and an MPPT tracking efficiency of 95%, according to the simulation results.
