Abstract

Modern events have shown that the power sector is experiencing diversification as it has never seen before, and using photovoltaic panels is the latest trend in research due to green energy. Some research has been carried out practically and theoretically in the field of pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques for high-power grid-tied inverters used in photovoltaic systems, such as Asma Ben Rhouma (2022) “Sinusoidal pulse width modulation for conventional photovoltaic three-phase inverter”, and Mohammed Salem et al. (2022) “Sinusoidal pulse width modulation for multilevel inverters”. This paper investigates the capabilities of sinusoidal pulse width modulation techniques for grid-tied power inverters by performing a performance analysis of the system in terms of total harmonic distortion and output current. The MATLAB Simulink software and hardware parameters were used to implement the development and model. The installation of a low-pass filter circuit aids in the creation of cleaner sine waveforms with a 0.17 % total harmonic distortion value. The sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) approach reduces harmonic distortion by bringing the output voltage closer to that of a genuine sine wave and the reduction of harmonics. MATLAB Simulink software and hardware parameters were used to implement the development and model
