Abstract
In this paper, the operation of a photovoltaic (PV) system with two stages connected to the AC side of the standalone grid is examined. The system consists of a PV array, a boost converter, a voltage source inverter, a line AC filter, a low frequency transformer for galvanic isolation, a boost controller and an inverter controller. The boost converter controls the solar array operating point in order to track maximum power point (MPP), and the post single phase inverter controls the DC-link capacitor voltage and controls the output current to be in-phase with the grid voltage. All the components of the PV system were analyzed.
