Abstract: A reliable grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) system require effective control schemes for efficient use of solar energy. This paper presents a three-phase grid tied PV system with decoupled real and reactive power control to achieve desired power factor with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller to get maximum solar energy. The synchronous reference frame (dq) control along with decoupling concept is used to control the DC-AC inverter output, while the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synchronization technique is used to monitor and synchronize the voltage and current at the grid side. The DC-DC converter with Incremental Conductance (InC) based MPPT model is also designed in this paper due to better accuracy compared to Perturb & Observe (P&O) algorithm. The simulation is performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK and a 31.5 kW PV system is modelled to get 30 kW power with the help of MPPT at Standard Test Conditions (STC). Any power factor value between 0.85 lagging to 0.9 leading can be obtained by changingreference q current in this inverter control strategy. The simulation results show that the change of reactive powerdoes not affecttheactive power values of the system, which verifies the effectiveness of the decoupled control strategy of the inverter.
