Solar energy hasbecomepopular nowadays and desire for clean energy. Since the solar radiation on no occasion remains constant,it keeps on insecure throughout the day. The need of the hour is to distribute a constant voltage to the grid irrespective of the deviation in temperatures and solar insolation. The inverter is designed from a boost converter along with a line frequency. The voltage from the boost converter is fedto the grid through inverter. In this proposed method high efficiency can be achievedby using only one switch functioning at high frequency at a time. The converter uses IGBT and ultra-fast reverse recovery diode.

The inverters are categorized according to the configuration of the PV system, the configuration of the conversion stages within the inverter and whether they use transformers. After the introduction of the state of the art of inverters for PV systems with and without transformers, the paper focuses on some known problems and challenges for transformer less inverters. Topologies without transformers have big advantages like low weight, volume and cost. In addition they often reach higher efficiencies than topologies with transformers. Eliminating the leakage current is one of the most important issues for transformer less inverters in grid-connected photovoltaic system applications, where the technical challenge is how to keep the system common-mode voltage constant to reduce the leakage current. To realize better utilization of PV modules and maximize the solar energy extraction, a distributed maximum power point tracking control scheme is applied to both single- and three-phase multilevel inverters, which allows independent control of each dc-link voltage. For three-phase grid-connected applications, PV mismatches may introduce unbalanced supplied power, leading to unbalanced grid current.

Design & Analysis of Grid Connected Photovoltaic SystemSulaman Muhammad
Aim of this project was to boost the DC voltage generated by the photovoltaic system to the required DC value through DC-DC boost converter and then to invert that DC voltage to AC voltage through H-bridge inverter. The output of the inverter is then filtered through a low pass filter to get a pure sinusoidal wave form. This output is then synchronized with the grid by converting the sine wave of grid into square wave and then compare that square wave with the PWM and then give that output wave of comparator to H-bridge, so if there is any change in the grid as a result the output of inverter will also have same change.
This is simple yet powerful concept, which uses transistor as a switch.

Simulation of various DC-DC converters for photovoltaic systemIJECEIAES
This work explains the comparison of various dc-dc converters for photovoltaic systems. In recent day insufficient energy and continues increasing in fuel cost, exploration on renewable energy system becomes more essential. For high and medium power applications, high input source from renewable systems like photovoltaic and wind energy system turn into difficult one, which leads to increase of cost for installation process. So the generated voltage from PV system is boosted with help various boost converter depends on the applications. Here the various converters are like boost converter, buck converter, buck-boost converter, cuk converter, sepic converter and zeta converter are analysed for photovoltaic system, which are verified using matlab / simulink.
This paper describes the Grid connected solar photovoltaique system using DC-DC boost converter and the DC/AC inverter (VSC) to supplies electric power to the utility grid. The model contains a representation of the main components of the system that are two solar arrays of 100 kW, boost converter and the grid side inverter. The paper starts with a system description, in this part we have given a definition and a short overview of every component used in this system and they are taken separately. The PV cell model is easy, accurate, and takes external temperature and solar radiation into consideration. It also proposes a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The algorithm incorporated in a DC/DC converter is used to track the maximum power of PV cell. Finally, the DC/AC inverter (VSC) of three- level is used to regulate the ouput voltage of DC/DC converter and connects the PV cell to the grid. Simulation results show how a solar radiation’s change can affect the power output of any PV system, also they show the control performance and dynamic behavior of the grid connected photovoltaic system.
A Power quality problem is an occurrence of nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a
failure or a misoperation of end user equipments. Utility distribution networks, sensitive industrial loads and
critical commercial operations suffer from various types of outages and service interruptions which can cost
significant financial losses. With the increase in load demand, the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are
increasingly connected in the distribution systems which utilizes power electronic Converters/Inverters. This
paper presents a single-stage, three-phase grid connected solar photovoltaic (SPV) system. The proposed system
is dual purpose, as it not only feeds extracted solar energy into the grid but it also helps in improving power
quality in the distribution system. The presented system serves the purpose of maximum power point tracking
(MPPT), feeding SPV energy to the grid, harmonics mitigation of loads connected at point of common coupling
(PCC) and balancing the grid currents. The SPV system uses a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) for
performing all these functions. An improved linear sinusoidal tracer (ILST)-based control algorithm is proposed
for control of VSC. In the proposed system, a variable dc link voltage is used for MPPT. An instantaneous
compensation technique is used incorporating changes in PV power for fast dynamic response. The SPV system
is first simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and simpower system toolboxes.
Grid tied photovoltaic (PV) system is an operation mode of PV system working together with utility power supply to provide power to the power load. Conventionally, transformer is used together with the power inverter. The power transformer works as galvanic insolation amongst PV system and power grid. It works also to raise the voltage of power inverter. However, use of transformer will add system complexity, price, weight and size of the entire system. Transformer-less system is an alternative to make the system simpler and more practical in use. The paper discusses performance of transformer-less grid tied PV systems using diode clamped and neutral point shorted inverters. Effects of transformer elimination to the feat of the grid tied PV system especially harmonics content and leakage current of PV system were examined and analyzed. The performance was also compared with the traditional system using H-bridge inverter. The leakage currents did not flow in the system applying diode clamped inverter, and neutral point shorted inverter. In case of harmonics content, the diode clamped inverter injected less harmonics components than the neutral point shorted inverter. The neutral point shorted provides a simpler inverter circuit in the transformerless systems.
Analysis and Design of Solar Photo voltaic Grid Connected Inverterijeei-iaes
This paper presents common mode voltage analysis of single phase grid connected photovoltaic inverter. Many researchers proposed different grid tie inverters for applications like domestic powering, street lighting, water pumping, cooling and heating applications, however traditional grid tie PV inverter uses either a line frequency or a high frequency transformer between the inverter and grid but losses will increase in the network leading to reduced efficiency of the system. In order to increase the efficiency, with reduced size and cost of the system, the effective solution is to remove the isolation transformer. But common mode (CM) ground leakage current due to parasitic capacitance between the PV panels and the ground making the system unreliable. The common mode current reduces the efficiency of power conversion stage, affects the quality of grid current, deteriorate the electric magnetic compatibility and give rise to the safety threats. In order to eliminate the common mode leakage current in Transformerless PV systm two control algorithms of multi-carrier pwm are implemented and compared for performance analysis.The shoot-through issue that is encountered by traditional voltage source inverter is analyzed for enhanced system reliability. These control algorithms are compared for common mode voltage and THD comparisons. The proposed system is designed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software for analysis.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

4. ABSTRACT
The grid-connected photovoltaic systems are an important part of renewable
energy sources and their integration is getting more and more widespread. In order
to improve the efficiency, practicality and reliability of the PV systems, many
kinds of new inverter topologies have been proposed to avoid using a grid
isolation transformer. The neutral point clamped inverter topology is discussed. In
this topology no common mode voltage is generated, thus changes in the behavior
of the inverter in terms of high efficiency and ensures that no DC will be injected
into the load. Constant voltage MPPT charge controller is designed based on small
signal analysis of converter. After this charge controller output is fed to multilevel
inverter for the conversion of dc to ac. Proposed neutral point clamped inverter is
offering very low line voltage THDs compared with conventional inverter; offering
less size and cost of the filter.

1. INTRODUCTION
A grid-connected photovoltaic power system or grid-connected PV system is electricity
generating solar PV system that is connected to the utility grid. A grid-connected PV
system consists of solar panels, one or several inverters, a power conditioning unit and
grid connection equipment. They range from small residential and commercial rooftop
systems to large utility-scale solar power stations. Unlike off-grid systems, a grid-
connected system rarely includes an integrated battery solution, as they are still very
expensive. When conditions are right, the grid-connected PV system supplies the excess
power, beyond consumption by the connected load, to the utility grid.
Two main topologies have been stated in the photovoltaic system i.e. with and without
the galvanic isolation. The main aim of the galvanic isolation is to offer safety for the
user, but this decreases the overall efficiency of the system. In the case of the transformer
less system the efficiency of the system raises up. The most important advantage of the
Transformer less system is that it offers higher efficiency, smaller in size and petite in
weight as compared to system with transformer.
PV inverter, which is the heart of a PV system, is used to convert dc power obtained from
PV modules into ac power to be fed into the grid. Improving the output waveform of the
inverter reduces its respective harmonic content and, hence, the size of the filter used and
the level of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) generated by switching operation of the
inverter. In recent years, multilevel inverters mainly neutral point clamped inverter is
being used. They offer improved output waveforms, smaller filter size and lower EMI,
lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The use of multi-level inverters also eliminates
the use of grid isolation transformers that are usually used for providing personal
protection and avoiding leakage currents between the PV system and the ground.

2. PROPOSED PV SYSTEM TOPOLOGY
Figure shows the block diagram of the proposed transformer less system which consists
of two stages. In this system a solar array has been constructed using solar cells by
combining it into series and parallel combinations. The output of solar cell is variable so
we have deployed a DC-DC converter which converts variable DC into fixed DC, this is
done in first stage. In second stage DC is converted into AC which will be utilized by the
appliances.

3. PV MODULE
The basic building block of a photovoltaic module is the photovoltaic cell; these convert
solar energy into electricity. The power output will depend on the amount of energy
incident on the surface of the cell and the operating temperature of the photovoltaic cell.
The power output of a single cell can supply small loads like calculators or watches, but
in order to be useful for high energy demand projects these cells must be arranged in
series and parallel connections. A photovoltaic module is an array of photovoltaic cells
pre-arranged in a single mounting mold. The type of module is therefore determined by
the cells that compose the module itself. There are three dominating cell technologies:
Monocrystalline: As the name implies, these are cells that are grown from a single
crystal. The production methods are difficult and expensive. These tend to be more
efficient (more power in less area) and more expensive.
Multicrystalline: The production process allows multiple crystalline structures to
develop within the cell. It is easier to implement in a production line. It is
relatively cheaper than monocrystalline at the expense of lower efficiency.
Thin-film: Uses less silicon to develop the cell allowing for cheaper production
costs. It tends to be less expensive but also lower efficiency
An ideal solar cell may be modelled by a current source in parallel with a diode; in
practice no solar cell is ideal, so a shunt resistance and a series resistance component are
added to the model.

4. BOOST CONVERTER BASED MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER
DC-DC Boost converter is used to magnify the voltage from PV to a suitable form of
energy accepted by the load. Boost converter is a second order system consists of an
inductor, a capacitor, a diode, and with the load resistance connected in parallel with the
capacitor. As the output from PV is not constant due to the ambient temperature and
environmental condition, the modeling of such converter is crucial.
Figure 4: Boost converter
4.1 MODES OF OPERATION
There are two modes of operation of a boost converter. Those are based on the closing
and opening of the switch. The first mode is when the switch is closed; this is known as
the charging mode of operation. The second mode is when the switch is open; this is
known as the discharging mode of operation.
4.1.1 Charging Mode
In this mode of operation; the switch is closed and the inductor is charged by the source
through the switch. The charging current is exponential in nature but for simplicity is
assumed to be linearly varying. The diode restricts the flow of current from the source to
the load and the demand of the load is met by the discharging of the capacitor.

4.1.2 Discharging Mode
In this mode of operation; the switch is open and the diode is forward biased . The inductor
now discharges and together with the source charges the capacitor and meets the load
demands. The load current variation is very small and in many cases is assumed constant
throughout the operation.
4.2 MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING
The efficiency of a solar cell is very low. In order to increase the efficiency, methods are to
be undertaken to match the source and load properly. One such method is the Maximum
Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This is a technique used to obtain the maximum possible
power from a varying source. In photovoltaic systems the I-V curve is non-linear, thereby
making it difficult to be used to power a certain load. This is done by utilizing a boost
converter whose duty cycle is varied by using a mppt algorithm. Few of the many
algorithms are listed below.
4.2.1 Methods for MPPT
There are many methods used for maximum power point tracking a few are listed below:
• Perturb and Observe method
• Incremental Conductance method
• Parasitic Capacitance method
• Constant Voltage method
• Constant Current method

5. NEUTRAL POINT CLAMPED INVERTER
Inverters are used to transform dc current to ac currents. The voltage and current
waveforms produced by inverters are never perfect sinusoids, therefore some
harmonic currents are expected during normal operation. Total harmonic distortion
(THD) is a measure of the harmonic content in current and voltage waveform in
order to improve the output voltage waveform and to eliminate the use of isolation
transformers multilevel inverter topologies are used. The most commonly used
multilevel topology is the diode clamped inverter, in which the diode is used as the
clamped device to grip the dc bus voltage so as to attain steps in the output voltage.
A neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter system has a DC power and an NPC inverter
having a neutral point connected to the positive and negative poles of the DC power
source to convert the DC voltage into AC voltage characterized in that first and
second branch means having a switching element provided between the positive
and negative poles sides of the DC power source and the neutral point of the NPC
inverter, and control means for turning the switching elements of the second and
first branch on when short-circuit current of the NPC inverter flow through the
neutral point of the NPC inverter.

5.1 TOPOLOGY
Figure 5: Topology of neutral point clamped inverter
Figure shows the main circuit of the NPC-PWM inverter. (A1,A4), (B1, B4), (C1, C4) are
main transistors operating as switches for PWM; and (A2, A3), (B2, B3), (C2, C3) are
auxiliary transistors to clamp the output terminal potentials to the neutral point potential,
together with diodes. To this inverter, all conventional PWM techniques can be applied.
Auxiliary transistors (A 3, A 2) are driven complementary to the main transistors (A1 , A4),
respectively. With such control, each output terminal potential is clamped to the neutral
potential in the off-periods of the PWM control.
The phase outputs are the center point of a series connection of four IGBTs , and the DC
bus input is connected to the top and bottom row of devices, Al, Bl, CI, and A4, B4, C4,

respectively. The center point of the DC bus is shown by a ground symbol and is
connected between a pair of series connected diodes in each phase. These six clamping
diodes connected to the neutral bus control the voltage distribution among the four
IGBTs in each phase leg. A conventional inverter requires the switches to sustain the full
voltage drop between the positive and negative DC buses. However, the voltage drop
(stress) across each switch of the NPCI is one half of the voltage between the positive and
negative bus since the switches on either side of the neutral bus are in series, and an
actual neutral point exists. Each IGBT has an individual gate signal that must be
referenced between the respective IGBT gate and emitter terminal. The diode shown
between the collector and emitter of each IGBT is an internal "body diode" inherent to
the IGBT device structure.
5.2 OPERATION
This specific NPCI topology uses 3-level switching instead of 2-level switching used in
conventional 3-phase inverters. The three levels correspond to the positive, negative, and
neutral buses. Taking leg A of Figure 4 as an example, the phase output A is connected to
the positive bus by turning on switches Al and A2. Turning switches A3 and A4 on
connect the phase A output to the negative bus, and turning switches A2 and A3 on
connects the phase A output to the neutral bus. The other two phases operate in the same
manner, but with phase shifted results with respect to phase A. The phase and line
voltages are given by
Pole voltages VRO = 0, ± , VYO = 0, ± , VBO = 0, ±
Line voltage VRY = 0, ± , ± Vdc
Phase voltage VRN = 0, ± , ± , ± , ±

5.3 FIRING SCHEME
The output terminal voltages of the neutral point clamped inverter based on the on off
position of the switches of one leg are given below
From the table it can be observed that the switches A1 and A3 are complimentary and A2
and A4 are also complimentary. Hence we need to produce only to gating pulses i.e for
A1 and A4. Gate signals for A2 and A3 can be obtained by complimenting firing pulses
of A1 and A4 respectively

6. CONCLUSION
Transformer less inverters offers a better efficiency, compared to those inverters that have a
galvanic isolation. In the proposed topology no common mode voltage is generated, thus
changes in the behavior of the inverter in terms of high efficiency and insures that no DC
will be injected into the load. After this charge controller output is fed to multi-level
inverter for the conversion of dc to ac. The proposed multilevel inverter using neutral point
clamped inverter is offering very low line voltage THDs compared with conventional
inverter; offered less size and cost of the filter. Leakage current will be eliminated since
midpoint of capacitors is connected to ground. It also ensures better waveform quality and
harmonic elimination. The power devices and the DC-link capacitors have to stand only one
half of the DC-link voltage and hence the switching losses will also be less.
