The purpose of this thesis is to design and realize a gird-tied single-phase PV inverter. A straight-approach maximum power point tracking (SA-MPPT) is adopted to make the PV inverter work at MPP under different insolation. In this thesis, the boost converter can pump energy from the PV module to the PV inverter, in which the PV inverter can adaptively provide proper current with current control to the power utility according to the guidance of the SA-MPPT. The modeling and analysis of the current control in the inverter are conducted in detail. Finally, a prototype of 1kW PV inverter is designed and implemented to assess the predictions. The experimental result is in feasibility close to the estimation.
