Abstract

Solar photovoltaic (PV) generation is one of the most important renewable energy resources, which is a green energy too. The operation and control of the solar PV generation system are important for its application. This paper studies the control strategy of the converter used in solar energy photovoltaic (PV) power generation, which can connect with the power grid. The simulation model of the PV generation system is set up to verify the feasibility of the control strategy. And some experiments have been done in the renewable experiment kit of TI Company.
