Popis: In this paper we investigate a new modulation technique for the control signals of grid-connected PV inverters. The inverters are connected to the grid via an L-filter. This technique improves the quality of the energy injected into grid by minimising the THD of the currents. Indeed, the harmonics of currents higher than the fundamental and DC component are the cause of several disturbances and electrical damage. Recent studies have shown that the THD of the currents injected into the grid by PV inverters become more important for low sunshine conditions. We propose a solution to this problem using a signal modulation technique that takes into account the advantages of PWM and DCM techniques. An adaptive law of the control gain is proposed in order to establish a new control law that helps to minimize the THD of the current. The results presented validate the approach discussed and rank our method above conventional PWM. The performances of this new method give it a special attention in power quality management.
