An MPC-Sliding Mode Cascaded Control Architecture for PV Grid-Feeding Inverters

An MPC-Sliding Mode Cascaded Control Architecture for PV Grid-Feeding Inverters

The primary regulation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is a current matter of research in the scientific community. In Grid-Feeding operating mode, the regulation aims to track the maximum power point in order to fully exploit the renewable energy sources and produce the amount of reactive power ordere...
