3. Solar PV Market
High-End (Traditional)
Grid-Tied, Utility Scale
>100KW Systems
Electronics Content: ~ Centralized
Market Size: 20K/yr (20% Growth)
Mid-Range (Community Scale)
Grid-Tied
1~10 kW Power Output per Solar Farm
Market Size: >500K/ yr Globally
Low End (Distributed Electronics)
Grid-Tied or Offline
100 W – 300 W per Module
Market Size : 1 – 5 Million “MicroInverters”
Electronics Distributed (each Panel)
Highly Integrated
Energy Optimization (MPPT) / Anti-Islanding /Protection
Communications / Metering
DC-DC / DC-AC Inversion
ADP105x
9. Implication of Micro-Inverter Architectures
Dramatic Increase in Electronics Content
Per Panel Sensing & Control now required
Processor Required for each Panel
Communications required between Panel and Central Unit
PLC, RF, CAN
Significant Pressure on System Cost
Requires Highly Optimized System Solution
Integrated Processor with ADCs, DSP, PWM Controller
Harsher Environment for Components
Components need to be reliable for 25 years
Components are exposed to extreme Temperatures
12. Various Standards at Play
IEC61727; Characteristics of the Utility Interface
IEC62109; Safety of Static Inverters
Comparable to UL1741
IEC62116; Anti-islanding test procedures
VDE 0126; Most important German safety standard
Recently revised version now demands a Residual Current
Monitoring Unit (RCMU) for transformer-less inverter designs
This RCMU must be capable of measuring any ac or dc residual
current flow
Standard CTs cannot measure dc current so alternative current
sensing techniques are required
Energy Segment
12
13. Main Challenges & System Considerations
Higher reliability and lower assembly/manufacturing costs
Relatively harsh environment with temperatures of up to +125
Power conversion efficiency is critical and need components
consume as little power as possible
Keeping the generated harmonics below the regulatory levels
Maintain low dc injection current levels onto the grid
14. Why Choose ADI?
ADI’s expertise in integrated energy measurement—300
million ADI metrology-based meters deployed
50% of all electrical grid equipment worldwide uses ADI
converters
Precision measurement of current & voltage through highly
accurate converters and amplifiers
Enabling power networks using high performance processing
technology engineered with robustness and reliability
Mixed-signal conversion and processing enable ease of
design and reduced time to market

57. Goals of this Demonstration
A platform to demonstrate energy conversion as applied to solar
photovoltaic (PV) and other alternative energy systems.
A platform to demonstrate and develop algorithms, running on a BF506F
processor, central to the operation of an inverter and/or charge controller.
These modular algorithms include:
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
Ac current regulation.
Ac voltage regulation.
Anti-islanding.
Dc bus voltage regulation.
Communication to external devices.
A platform to evaluate computational requirements placed on a BF506F
processor used for renewable energy applications.
A platform to provide reference software and inverter hardware design
Hardware BOMs, schematics and artwork provided with kit

58. PV Inverter Application Capabilities
Boosting the voltage output by the solar PV panel into a sufficiently
high voltage to allow for inversion into either a 120V (rms), 220V
(rms), or 240V (rms) utility voltage at either 50Hz or 60Hz.
Using the bidirectional dc/dc converter for maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) of the solar panel output.
Operating the bidirectional dc/dc converter in reverse to deliver
energy to the dc input, as in battery charging.
Inverter operation for either output current regulation or output
voltage regulation.
Using the single-phase inverter as a buck converter to support
battery charging.
Aggregating energy from multiple sources into a common dc bus
before inversion into the utility.
Operation with a fixed or variable dc bus voltage. Regulation of the
dc bus voltage can be accomplished through either the bidirectional
dc/dc converter, or the single-phase inverter.
