Abstract :
This paper presents a single-phase grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system with active power filter functionality for nonlinear load. The system is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK. With this method, power generated by the PV is transferred to the nonlinear load and the grid and the power factor is nearly unity. The current control is based on adaptive PWM method The system performance is investigated for low and high values of insolation of the PV.
