Abstract


An escalating solar Photovoltaic System (PVS) with grid integration is the most common solution for auxiliary power demands. Despite its benefits, operating solar PVS under fast varying environmental conditions with nonlinear loads is the most challenging job. Almost, the grid integration with solar PVS provides active power at Maximum Operating Point (MOP) and also reactive power compensation without affecting the grid voltage stability. Consequently, a holistic single-stage solar PVS is considered for harvesting solar power at variability conditions as a proposed system. This controls the voltage stability of the grid by the reactive power compensation based on the P-Q capability curve. Also, it eliminates the overshoots of voltage and current with reduced distortion at non-linear loads. A fruitful enhanced Beetle Antenna Search (e-BAS) tuned d-q controller is proposed and implemented for deterministic grid integration of solar PVS to enhance the reactive power control with minimum distortions. The ability of the proposed controller has been assessed through MATLAB/Simulink environments. The simulation illustrations conclude that e-BAS tuned d-q controller reveals the betterment of grid integration solar PVS.
