Precise PV active power — Converter control rapid prototyping framework

This paper deals with photovoltaic converter not including maximum power point tracking (MPPT), but precise active power tracking (PAPT) operational mode. There is considered control deployment for boost converter (four-phase interleaved), as an essential part of common two-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system. The control code is developed and tested by means of MATLAB autocoding generation and specially designated embedded oscilloscope functions for DSP, together with Hardware-in-the-Loop emulator device. Described rapid prototyping framework is successfully employed for the unconventional PV control algorithm development.
