Abstract

Knowing the health of a system allows to guarante its efficiency and sustainability. The state observer is one of several techniques used by authors to estimate system state. This paper focuses on the problem of simultaneous states estimation of DC (Direct Current) and AC (Alternating Current) sides of a single-phase Photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected operating under the Sudanese-Sahelian climate of Cameroon. A generalized extended state observer (GESO) has been designed to simultaneously estimate the three states and the three disturbances of the system. A good estimation of the state and disturbances is achieved by the appropriate choice of the observer gain and the disturbance compensation gain resulting from the correct pole placement. The GESO robustness has been tested by varying the PV voltage and grid voltage. When there are no input fluctuations, the estimation errors of nominal states and disturbances converge to zero. The fluctuation in PV voltage resulting from partial shading has a significant impact on the boost converter current. The boost converter current varies proportionally with the drop in voltage due to partial shading from 55% to 59%. Under the grid voltage fluctuation, the boost converter current remains stable while the DC bus voltage and inverter current are significantly affected. The proposed GESO prove its robustness to perturbations from the PV array and grid side into the Single-Phase PV Grid-connected System. This paper contributes to the study of observers applied to the PV system and points the way to future work on diagnosing faults in PV systems operating in Cameroon's Sudanese-Sahelian climate.
