“SUNFLOWER” frequency converter with a capacity of 1 MW on IGBT modules with integrated remote control and monitoring system for solar power plants

St. Petersburg

The Sunflower frequency converter ensures the operation of solar power plants at the maximum power point. The control system of the proposed inverter implements an algorithm for tracking the maximum power of photovoltaic modules (Three-point-weight MPPT algorithm) using model predictive SES control in real time under various environmental parameters. The use of a multilevel converter based on the 3L –NPC topology proposed in the Project makes it possible to achieve a reduction in weight, size and cost.
