Performance Analysis of Grid Integrated PV Based Distributed Generation with Maximum Power Point Tracking

Distributed generation (DG) has received more recognition due to the limitations of conventional power generation. The grid-connected inverter of DG is usually connected with renewable energy sources (RES)s. Here, a photovoltaic (PV) array is used as a DG source with maximum power point tracking implemented by the P&O algorithm. The role of DG is to supply adequate power to support the grid, which is effectively controlled using the Comprehensive Power Quality Evaluation (CPQE) technique. Here, MATLAB-based simulation of proposed PV-based DG with maximum power extraction algorithm is presented. Simulation analysis of proposed PV-based two-level inverter DG clearly depicts satisfactory behavior.
