Abstract

The growing global energy demand and environmental concerns associated with fossil fuels have accelerated the adoption of renewable energy sources, especially solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Grid-connected PV systems are widely preferred due to their ability to integrate seamlessly with existing power networks. However, their performance is affected by issues such as fluctuating solar irradiance, inefficient power extraction, and poor power quality. This thesis presents the design and control of a grid-connected solar PV system using an advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique and power quality enhancement methods. A comprehensive mathematical model of the PV array, DC-DC converter, and grid-connected inverter is developed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed intelligent MPPT algorithm improves tracking speed and minimizes oscillations compared to conventional methods like Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance. To address power quality concerns, a grid-synchronized inverter with suitable filtering techniques is implemented to reduce harmonic distortion, voltage fluctuations, and poor power factor. Simulation results demonstrate improved MPPT efficiency, reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and enhanced voltage and current stability. This work offers an efficient solution for reliable grid integration of solar PV systems, supporting sustainable energy development.

Keywords: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System; Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT); Grid-Connected Inverter; Power Quality Improvement; Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
