Title of speech:"Recent Advances in Grid-connected Photovoltaic Inverters, a Survey of Academic and Industrial Trends"
Abstract- Today, evolution of the photovoltaic grid connected inverters continues in both academia and industries after two decades of progress. In recent years, new applications emerged for such inverters. The PV backup systems integrate the energy storage solutions with PV generation. The micro inverters enable new solutions for PV applications. The novel power converter design techniques have enhanced the PV system’s efficiency and the presence of the new manufacturers and markets have impacted the cost of the PV systems. The PV Inverters can engage into grid compensation and smart grid functions by extending their functionalities. Reactive power generation, distributed protection, and innovative commutation protocols are among the new operating modes demanded by modern grids. This presentation evaluates the recent advances on the PV grid connected inverters. The novel applications, requirements, and the achievements will be presented. Additionally, an insightful vision will be provided for investors and researchers by concluding the futuristic trends in the grid connected PV system development.
