 P and O method

 Perturb & Observe (P&O) is the simplest method. In this we use only
one sensor, that is the voltage sensor, to sense the PV array voltage
and so the cost of implementation is less and hence easy to
implement.

 The time complexity of this algorithm is very less but on reaching

very close to the MPP it doesn’t stop at the MPP and keeps on
perturbing on both the directions.

 CONCLUSION

• The proposed model which improves the power quality like

power factor, voltage regulation and decreases harmonics.

• In this paper it has been observed from the simulation

results that to maintain constant DC voltage at output of
Boost converter by Using MPPT technique.

• We maintain constant AC voltages by adding extra reactive

power by proper tuning of PI controller and then controlling
Voltage source converter(VSC). The three-phase VSC
compensates the harmonic currents and reactive power,
balances the nonlinear loads.
 Future Scope

In improvement of power quality on grid connected PV system. Here we

use PI controller tuning in current controller by sensing change of current in
non-linear load.
In further we extended to use fuzzy PI controller in current controller by
taking multi non-linear loads. Here we use passive filter which can eliminate
particular harmonics only.
In further we use active filter in place of passive filter which can eliminate
all types of harmonics.
