Abstract

This study proposes a simplified super-twisting algorithm (SSTA) control strategy for improving the power quality of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power systems. Some quality issues are considered in this study including the power factor, reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of current, compensating the reactive power, and injecting at the same time the energy supplied by the PV system into the grid considering non-linear load. This improvement is achieved by two topologies; controlling both the boost DC–DC converter and the DC–AC inverter that links the PV system to the grid. The DC–DC converter is controlled using proportional-integral (PI) and SSTA to maximize the power generated from the PV panel regardless of its normal and abnormal conditions, while the DC–AC inverter is employed to direct power control strategy with modified space vector modulation using the phase-locked loop (PLL) technique of a three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter based on the proposed strategies (PI and SSTA). In addition, a shunt active power filter (SAPF) is used to connect the PV system to the AC grid and feed a non-linear load. To validate the simulation results presented in this paper using Matlab software, a comparative study between the PI controller and the SSTA is presented. The results show the effectiveness and moderation of the suggested SSTA technique in terms of feasibility, tracking performance, less power ripple, dynamic response, THD value, overshoot, steady-state error, and robustness under varying irradiation, temperature, and non-linear conditions.
