This study proposes a novel active power decoupling (APD) control method focusing on the power generation characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) arrays. Numerous studies have been conducted on the APD method for achieving a long lifetime of a residential PV power generation system. The APD method reduces the power pulsation, which contains twice the utility frequency caused by a single-phase PV inverter. Compared with the passive power decoupling method using electrolytic capacitors, the APD method incurs power conversion loss due to the increase in passive components and power devices. Many studies have considered the efficiency improvement of the APD method, however most of them focus on the power conversion loss of the APD circuit. It is necessary to consider the power conversion efficiency of the power conditioner and the power generation efficiency of the PV array collectively to improve the efficiency of the PV system. Therefore, in this study, a compensation power control for APD circuit focusing on the power generation characteristics of the PV array is proposed, and the validity of the proposed APD control was verified by evaluating the efficiency based on real-time simulation and experimental results of a 1kW power conditioner.

Various studies have been conducted on photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems that focus either on a generation control circuit (GCC) to prevent power reduction due to a partial shade or on an active power decoupling method (APD) to reduce the power pulsation with twice the utility frequency. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, only few studies have examined the PV power generation systems in which both the GCC and the APD functions are installed. In this paper, a novel PV power generation system equipped with both the GCC and the APD functions is proposed, and its fundamental operation is verified.
