Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus including: a photovoltaic panel; a CPG controller configured to receive a limit output power value of a photovoltaic panel, a photovoltaic panel terminal voltage, and a photovoltaic panel output current and output a photovoltaic panel terminal voltage reference; a direct current (DC)-voltage controller configured to receive the photovoltaic panel terminal voltage reference and the photovoltaic panel terminal voltage and output a duty ratio to cause an error between these values to become zero; a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal generator configured to receive the duty ratio and output a PWM signal to control a DC/DC converter connected to the photovoltaic panel; the DC/DC converter configured to receive the PWM signals and perform CPG control; and a DC/AC inverter connected to the DC/DC converter and configured to convert DC power into AC power and output the AC power to an electrical grid.
