Designers of solar inverters face a multidimensional challenge to ensure solar power continues to meet the growing demand for clean energy.
Solar PV sources cannot provide constant energy supply and introduce a potential unbalance in generation and demand, especially in off-peak periods when PV generates more energy and in peak period when load demand rises too high. Because of its intermittent and irregular nature, PV generation makes grid management a difficult task.
The present paper aims at reviewing some technical challenges on the current state of PV systems based on energy policies, various cell technologies, MPPT and converter/inverter technology, energy management and scheduling techniques, reliability, power quality and control systems issues. 1. Introduction
Solar PV modules are subject to degradation over time due to factors such as temperature variations, humidity, soiling, and module mismatch. This degradation can result in a gradual decline in energy output and system performance, reducing the overall return on investment for solar PV installations.
High reliability is another key design requirement in PV inverters. The temperature of the hottest component of 4-level flying capacitor operated at 32 kHz inductor current frequency is only 4K higher than the ANPC operated at 16 kHz. Nevertheless, any temperature rise has an effect on module lifetime.
