title = "Average Model based Effective Control Approach for a Grid-Connected PV PUC5 Inverter",
abstract = "This paper presents a novel control approach for a 5-level Packed U Cell (PUC5) inverter based on its average model. The system under study composed of PV arrays connected to the grid through a single-phase PUC5 inverter. The PV system injects an alternative current into the grid with low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), while balancing power among the inverter cells. A non-linear feedback technique plugged-in with a reduced carriers Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) approach (only 2 PWM carrier signals are employed) is applied to ensure a good tracking quality. Simulation results are presented to prove the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.",

note = "Funding Information: V. CONCLUSIONS This paper presents a novel control strategy for a grid-tied PV system. The studied system consists of a boost converter connecting the PV arrays to a single-phase 5-level PUC (PUC5) inverter. A non-linear feedback technique plugged-in with a reduced carriers Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) approach is applied to control the PUC5 with the aim to inject an alternative current into the grid with unity power factor and low THD. Simulation results has shown the high capability of the proposed control in terms of dynamic tracking performances and waveform quality.
