A generalized design method for multifunction converters used in a photovoltaic system

In this paper, a general design method for multifunction converters using photovoltaic systems is proposed. With the proposed converter, the photovoltaic generator can provide flexibility, accuracy, and fast responses in both harmonic suppression and power injection modes in all cases of the grid-connected load. The controller for the proposed converter is designed based on the Lyapunov technique, along with the generalized algorithm for determining the global optimal values of the stability bounds. Therefore, the proposed converter can perform accurately and efficiently in the case of fixed system parameters as well as in the case of varying system parameters. Simulations and experimental results are presented to validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model and control strategy.
