A DC-link voltage control scheme for single-phase grid-connected PV inverters

A fast DC-link voltage controller is desirable to reduce the DC-link capacitor for PV inverters. This paper proposes a method for single-phase grid-connected PV inverters to remove the ripple component from the DC-link voltage signal and a scheme to regulate the DC-link voltage based on energy-balance analysis. The proposed scheme provides excellent dynamic performance as well as a function to prevent DC-link overvoltage by limiting the input power, which is verified by both simulation and experiments.
