| Sumario: | This paper presents a two-stage current-source DC-AC converter for grid-connected PV applications which is composed of an input step-up stage, followed by a step-down stage and an unfolding inverter. A decentralized control strategy of the DC-DC stage allows maximizing the renewable energy harvest using an Incremental Conductance MPPT algorithm and synthesizing an output current to be injected into the grid with low harmonic distortion. Double-loop PI controllers are used for the boost stage. The DC bus voltage of the buck stage is regulated using a PI controller, and an inner Proportional-Resonant (PR) controller tracks a sinusoidal reference. The PR controller proposed in this paper, includes a reduced number of resonant stages meeting the energy quality required by standards, which results in good stability margins. Finally, a SOGI-FLL algorithm synchronizes the inverter operation with the grid. Experimental results show an excellent dynamic response of the system, and the injected current complies with the IEEE Std. 1547–2018 specifications regarding harmonic content using a control law with a low computational burden. |
