Abstract

The growing need for sustainable and clean energy solutions has elevated photovoltaic (PV) systems to the forefront of competitive options. In order to evaluate the performance and viability of single-stage and dual-stage single-phase PV voltage source inverter systems within the context of renewable energy, this study undertakes a thorough comparative analysis. MATLAB Simulink has been used to run the simulations, and the results produced show that the selected configurations are robust and closely match theoretical expectations. The study explores the subtle distinctions, benefits, and drawbacks that come with single- and dual-stage systems. By extensively evaluating the consequences on system stability, grid synchronisation, and power quality, useful insights emerge. The simplicity and efficiency of the single-stage system are demonstrated by the direct connectivity between the PV MPPT output and the inverter. In contrast, the dual-stage system addresses the issue of low PV output voltage by incorporating a boost converter with an MPPT algorithm, albeit at the expense of more parts and complexity. The research described here adds a great deal to the current discussion on PV system optimization. The study notably clarifies methods for improving dependability and efficiency in applications involving renewable energy. With the increasing worldwide trend towards sustainable energy, it is critical to comprehend the subtle dynamics of various PV setups. In addition to offering a comprehensive grasp of the complexities involved in single- and dual-stage single-phase PV voltage source inverter systems, this research paves the way for future developments in the planning and execution of effective renewable energy solutions especially for Asian nations that still rely on coal-based power plants. Increased contribution of solar based electricity generation will lead to a significant drop in pollution contributed by the ash and gases released by thermal power plants that employ fossil fuels. The ultimate goal of this study is to provide information to stakeholders in the renewable energy industry so that they may make more informed decisions and create PV systems that are both sustainable for the environment and efficient for the utility.
