Abstract :
The paper presents a model-based method for photovoltaic array maximum power point prediction. The method was tested successfully on a small grid-connected PV system. A three-phase IGBT-voltage-source inverter is used as the power conditioner and a DSP-controller is employed to perform real-time control and prediction functions. The system and experimental results obtained are presented in the paper
