Abstract

A large part of the global population is still living without the access to electricity. The interconnected solar home system (SHS) has been purposed as a solution to meet the local demand in the remote areas. In this thesis, a decentralized architecture of SHS is considered which consists of four converters. This work proposed the design of one of the converter (flow converter) and the selection of appropriate control strategy to ensure proper function of the interconnected solar home system. A prototype of flow converter was designed and tested for bi-directional power flow. Power droop is being incorporated in the constant current control scheme. The load sharing and voltage regulation using droop mechanism are also demonstrated.
