Abstract

The massive need for environmentally friendly energy generation and exploitation of fossil fuels are leading to the increased demand for renewable energy sources like photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy, etc. The fluctuating behaviour of PV causes various disadvantages, of which the generation of Inter-harmonics is the major problem. The production of Inter-harmonics by the load-interfacing inverters is primarily due to the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques employed in PV system. The requirement of multiple perturbations in tracking peak points is the primary cause behind the inter-harmonic generation. Since solar irradiation varies throughout a specific period, there can be situations where the operating irradiance changes abruptly from one state to the other. These abrupt changes generate enormous fluctuations in the MPPT power output, resulting in an inter-harmonics generation. This paper proposes an evolved INter-HARmonic-Elimination (INHARE) algorithm for minimizing the PV fluctuating behaviour, leading to lower voltage ripple and settling time. The proposed INHARE algorithm is examined fora 0.52 kW PV system, where the Inter-harmonics content is reduced considerably in load current for the case of varying irradiances at a constant temperature.
