Smart Hybrid Inverter Design Using Simulink and Solar Assistant

Abstract

In this research paper, we introduce the design of a smart hybrid solar inverter. Key system components, such as AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC converters, are described and presented. The innovation of the proposed system lies in its ability to accept a wide PV range of up to 15 kW and handle various load scenarios. The system was simulated to validate its operation under different load scenarios, programming parameters, and power priority configurations. The system is monitored and controlled via Solar Assistant software, which allows for the setting of various parameters to manage the different load scenarios effectively. Simulation results under different scenarios demonstrate the potential of the proposed system and its reliable operation with varying programming parameters and power priority configurations.
