The present invention focuses on the development of a high-performance
solar photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion system. The power circuit of
the invention is made of a two-stage circuit, connecting a step-up DC-DC
converter and a full-bridge inverter in serial. The present invention
uses an adaptive perturbation and observation method to increase tracking
speed of maximum power position and at the same time reduces energy loss.
In addition, the full-bridge inverter's output has to have the same phase
with the utility power in order to achieve unit power factor and increase
the system efficiency. The present invention uses voltage type current
control full-bridge inverter to achieve the goal of merging into utility
grid. The present invention provides an active Sun tracking system, by
utilizing the character of changing in open circuit output voltage with
Sun radiation strength to follow the Sun, and decreases the system cost
and increases system effectiveness.
