Abstract

This chapter introduces the modeling of the power inverter of the photovoltaic system. The modeling step considered the first step of the control, where a detailed Simulink model has been introduced. Mainly, the control point is summarized as the tuning of the PI controller, where the Simulink introduces many types of the PI controller. Through this model, many aspects have been studied such as the power efficiency, total harmonic distortion, and the thermal performance of the power inverter. This model has been tested in many categories of the loads in order to ensure the accuracy of the built one.
