Research Title: Design and Development of Cascaded Multilevel Inverter Strategy for Renewable Energy Integration in Smart Grid.

Abstract:
A single phase two stage converter model is designed and developed using MATLAB, boost converter is the first stage for extracting the maximum PV power using IC algorithm, the second stage is of Cascaded H Bridge Multilevel Inverter for injecting the power into the grid. The converter performance in the closed loop is analysed by varying irradiance level, varying temperature levels and partial shading effect. The simulation results proved that the proposed system performs greater efficiency and lower THD level than a conventional full bridge inverter system.
The hardware module for proposed system is been developed using Arduino UNO and TMS320F28335Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The IC MPPT algorithm is coded in Arduino UNO, the pulse generated by the boost driver circuit is given to gate terminal of boost converter MOSFET. The clipping and clamping circuit is developed for grid synchronization. The DSP is programmed using MATLAB embedded coder for grid voltage, grid current, DC link voltage, PLL,DQ closed loop controller and PSPWM method. The digital output from DSP is given to inverter gate driver circuit and generated pulses are applied togate terminal of the inverter MOSFET. The results obtained by the prototype model are observed and has better efficiency, improved Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Power factor is maintained very close to unity.
