Developing Solar Inverter Control with Simulink
Model and simulate a solar inverter with Simulink® and Simscape Electrical™ and implement embedded software on a Texas Instruments® (TI) microcontroller. Use the simulation model to emulate the PV panel and design the boost converter stage of the inverter. See how the model helps you tune the controller to adjust the boost converter duty cycle to adjust voltage for changing loads. Watch how to develop the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to keep the PV system operating at, or close to, the peak power point of the PV panel under varying conditions, like changing solar irradiance, temperature, and load. Understand how Simulink lets you generate C code that is implemented on a Texas Instruments C2000 Piccolo™ microcontroller.
