The main purpose of this paper is to conduct design and implementation on three-phase smart inverters of the grid-connected photovoltaic system, which contains maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and smart
Photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as a clean, renewable energy, has been in the stage of rapid development and large-scale application [1–4]. Grid-connected inverter is the key component
For a grid-connected PV system, inverters are the crucial part required to convert dc power from solar arrays to ac power transported into the power grid. The control performance and stability of inverters severely affect
At present, the photovoltaic technology has been widely developed and applied, but the output voltage level of photovoltaic power generation system is still relatively low, and voltage range
An extensive literature review is conducted to investigate various models of PV inverters used in existing power quality studies. The two power quality aspects that this study focuses on are
For a grid-connected PV system, inverters are the crucial part required to convert dc power from solar arrays to ac power transported into the power grid. The control performance and stability of inverters severely affect the PV system, and lots of works have explored how to analyze and improve PV inverters’ control stability .
The control performance of PV inverters determines the system’s stability and reliability. Conventional control is the foundation for intelligent optimization of grid-connected PV systems.

The control performance and stability of inverters severely affect the PV system, and lots of works have explored how to analyze and improve PV inverters’ control stability . In general, PV inverters’ control can be typically divided into constant power control, constant voltage and frequency control, droop control, etc. .
By using a reliable method, a cost-effective system has to be developed to integrate PV systems with the present power grid . Using next-generation semiconductor devices made of silicon carbide (SiC), efficiencies for PV inverters of over 99% are reported .
As clearly pointed out, the PV inverter stands for the most critical part of the entire PV system. Research efforts are now concerned with the enhancement of inverter life span and reliability. Improving the power efficiency target is already an open research topic, as well as power quality.
Although various intelligent technologies have been used in a PV inverter system, the intelligence of the whole system is still at a rather low level. The intelligent methods are mainly utilized together with the traditional controllers to improve the system control speed and reliability.
