Abstract

The article introduces a novel PWM technique, Sorted Modified Multireference PWM (SMMR PWM), designed for solar PV panel companion grid-tied inverters. This technique enhances MPPT tracking for individual PV panels, improves power quality by reducing THD in the grid current, and achieves faster settling times and higher inverter efficiency compared to existing methods like SSCM and SoPWM. The article details the system structure, control strategy, and simulation and experimental results, showcasing the superior performance of the proposed SMMR PWM technique. The research highlights the potential of SMMR PWM to optimize the performance of solar PV systems, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the field of renewable energy and power electronics.
