PV based DC-AC (Inverter) Design for Home in LabVIEW Multisim Co-simulation
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryThis FYP is based on the simulating a three-phase inverter using NI Multisim and NI LabView
software. This project has great potential for commercialization, in integration of Photovoltaic PV
system to power grid. The use of LabView Multisim co-simulation uses the digital control blocks
designed in LabView for controlling the Multisim DC-AC converter (Inverter) .The most important
parameters to analyze in this project will be, the power quality of inverter, the power efficiency and
the switching speed of the electronics involved in the circuit design.
A solar inverter or PV inverter converts the variable DC output from solar panel into alternating current AC that can be used to operate home utilities and can be fed to the commercial gird stations. Our primary focus is to design the off-gird inverter for home. It can be design NI Multisim and NI LabView co-simulation. Multisim and LabVIEW enable code design of an entire system, ensuring that algorithms and code simulated for the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in Lab VIEW are verified for real time performance with analog circuitry that will be tested in Phil Lab (Power Hardware-in-the-Loop) in order to obtain accurate results w.r.t hardware.
Project ObjectivesThe obejctives of this project is to
- Simulating a three-phase inverter using NI Multisim and NI LabVIEW. Design PV based three phase inverter for homes.
- Modeling and simulation of DC-AC converter (Inverter) in Multisim.
- Modeling and simulation of Control design in LabVIEW.
- Modeling the LabVIEW Multisim co-simulation, for PV System integration.
- Analyze the power quality of the designed inverter, the power efficiency and power losses during the conversion.
As the ultimate purpose of the project is to create PV-based DC-AC inverter for homes. We will be different methodologies to carry out this project.
- First we will be doing the literature review and literature study in order carry out the collection data and developing an algorithm.
- NI LabVIEW & Multisim co-simulation for DC-AC Inverter.
- Use of LabVIEW to design digital control blocks designed for controlling the Multisim DC-AC converter (Inverter)
- Analysis the power quality of inverter, the power efficiency and the switching speed of the electronics involved in the circuit design.
However the purposed methodology will be designed carried out with the different inputs and
Techniques. In order select the best technique will be choose on the bases of high efficiency of Output.
Benefits of the ProjectThis projec has many benifits including
- Real time simulation in power hardware in loop lab.
- This is real time PV based design.
- The important benifit of this is that is power quality of the designed inverter, the power efficiency and no power losses during the conversion.
- It will be easy to integarte in industry or gird for simulation and analyses purpose.
- Hardware design of this project will be easy and efficient if it is integrated, However our aim to just design simulation based.
Now a days industrialization and Globalization is the in this technical is era is the sustainable development and environmental pollution to be addressed. The reduction of fossil fuels can lead to destructions in future. The path to secure our future progeny is to move towards the renewable resource. When it comes to renewable energy there the need of the inverter design to convert the DC Power into generated from the fossil fuels into the AC fin order to utilize it for our homes and industries. The main power to be addressed here is the power quality of inverters and switching speed of the inverter to be considered.
This project has great potential for commercialization, in integration of Photovoltaic PV system to power grid also but what we are do is simply the home based inverter which we is off-gird inverter system. In this project we will be suing the LabView Multisim co-simulation with the help of digital control block. The most important parameters to analyse in this project will be, the power quality of inverter, the power efficiency and the switching speed of the electronics involved in the circuit design.
