Control of parallel grid-connected photovoltaic inverters with common DC bus

This paper proposes a hierarchical control scheme for parallel grid-connected PV inverters with a common dc bus. Droop control and group coordination are implemented to achieve equal power sharing between inverters as well as zero steady-state error for dc voltage regulation. The implementation is specifically designed for distributed control to promote modularization and system reliability. Experimental results have verified that the proposed scheme is effective.
