Abstract

Most of the renewable energy sources are not distributed directly to consumer. It gone through several section to get optimum output voltage and current with the almost zero distortion. Direct Matrix converters are well known of its better power quality and low power distortion to the reactive loads. Conversely, multilevel H bridge inverters are broadly used to attain a sinusoidal output voltage in solar photovoltaic application. Reactive power is subject to high importance for the operation of alternating current (AC) power systems. Moreover there is always a challenge to obtain the balance current control from an unbalanced supply voltage with minimum harmonic distortion for reactive load application from solar power system. The main objective of the proposed system is to maximize the power usage by maintaining the current and power factor nearby unity. There are many different optimization techniques are used so far in matrix converter, a novel method of optimization BAT algorithm is proposed for the power quality to get the best result. This work mainly deals with the compensation of reactive power used in Solar Photovoltaic Power System. Bidirectional energy flow is possible with matrix converter for battery charging. Simulation results are presented to confirm the appropriate operation of the system under different of operating conditions. Also, in the proposed method the percentage of the higher order harmonics can reduced less than 9% of matrix converter for solar photovoltaic application.
