    The document outlines the objectives, specifications, and requirements for Project 4 on simulating a grid-tied solar energy conversion system with a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller and voltage-oriented control (VOC) inverter. The objectives are to understand the operating principles of the system, design the power conversion configuration and control parameters, and investigate system performance. The system includes a PV array, boost converter controlled via MPPT, and grid-tied inverter controlled via VOC. Students are asked to model the system in Simulink, implement the MPPT and VOC controls, run simulations under different irradiance levels, and analyze the results in a project report.

    Solar Energy Conversion System with Grid-tied


    Inverter

    1. Objectives
    1) To understand the operating principle of a complete grid-tied solar energy conversion
    system, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for the dc-dc converter
    and voltage-oriented control (VOC) scheme for the grid-tied inverter; and
    2) To design power conversion configuration, parameters, and control for a grid-tied solar
    energy conversion system; and
    3) To investigate performances of the system.

    2. Suggested Simulation Software


    Matlab/Simulink

    3. System Specifications
    3.1 Solar Energy Conversion System
    The simplified block diagram for a grid-tied solar energy conversion system is shown in
    Figure 1. The system is composed mainly of a PV array, a dc-dc boost converter, and a
    dc-ac grid-tied inverter. The control system is responsible for producing proper control
    over the dc-dc and the dc-ac stages to achieve the PV-side (MPPT) and grid-side (VOC)
    control objectives. System parameters are provided in the following table:
