Modelagem e controle de conversores fonte de tensão utilizados em sistemas de geração fotovoltaicos conectados à rede elétrica de distribuição

Abstract

This dissertation presents a control strategy for a single-stage, three-phase, photovoltaic systems to be connected to a distribution network. Mathematical models are developed to represent the dynamic characteristics of the photovoltaic panels, the voltage-source converter (VSC) and the distribution network. The modeling of the dispersed generation system (DGS) is done in the synchronous reference frame (dq), providing a system of differential equations that describes the dynamic behavior of the system when the network voltages are balanced or unbalanced. The converter is controlled in current mode through the space vector modulation (SVM) strategy. Two control loops are designed to control the static converter. The inner loop controls the injected current into the network while the external loop controls the converter DC bus voltage. The DC voltage regulator allows to track the PV maximum power point and to control the active power injected into the AC grid. An active islanding detection method based on negative-sequence current injection is incorporated into the control system. Digital simulations results obtained with Alternative Transients Program (ATP) is used to validate the mathematical models and the control strategies. Finally, a small-scale experimental prototype is implemented in the laboratory. The whole control system of the experimental prototype was programmed in DSP TMS320F2812 of Texas Instruments. The results demonstrate that the operation of the system can be used to validate the applied control strategy.
