This white paper explores the design considerations in a grid-connected storage-integrated solar installation system
C2000WARE-DIGITALPOWER-SDK
DigitalPower SDK for C2000™ microcontrollers (MCU) is a cohesive set of software infrastructure, tools, and documentation designed to minimize C2000 MCU based digital power system development time targeted for various AC-DC, DC-DC and DC-AC power supply applications. The software includes firmware that runs on C2000 digital power evaluation modules (EVMs) and TI designs (TIDs) which are targeted for solar, telecom, server, electric vehicle chargers and industrial power delivery applications. DigitalPower SDK provides all the needed resources at every stage of development and evaluation in a digital power application
Digitally Controlled Solar Micro Inverter Design using C2000™ Piccolo Microcontroller
This document presents the implementation details of a digitally-controlled solar micro inverter using the
C2000 microcontroller. A 250-W isolated micro inverter design presents all the necessary PV inverter
functions using the Piccolo-B (F28035) control card. This document describes the power stages on the
micro inverter board, as well as an incremental build level system that builds the software by verifying
open loop operation and closed loop operation. This guide describes control structures and algorithms for
controlling power flow, maximizing power from the PV panel (MPPT), and locking to the grid using phase
locked loop (PLL), along with hardware details of Texas Instruments Solar Micro Inverter Kit

TIDU405B Grid-tied Solar Micro Inverter with MPPT
This C2000 Solar Micro Inverter EVM hardware consists
of two stages. These are: (1) an active clamp fly-back DC/DC converter with
secondary voltage multiplier and, (2) a DC-AC inverter. A block diagram of this
system is shown in Figure 1b. The DC-DC converter draws dc current from the PV panel
such that the panel operates at its maximum power transfer point. This requires
maintaining the panel output, that is, the DC-DC converter input at a level
determined by the MPPT algorithm. The MPPT algorithm determines the panel output
current (reference current) for maximum power transfer. Then a current control loop
for the fly-back converter ensures that the converter input current tracks the MPPT
reference current. The fly-back converter also provides high frequency isolation for
the DC-DC stage. The output of the fly-back stage is a high voltage DC bus which
drives the DC-AC inverter. The inverter stage maintains the DC bus at a desired set
point and injects controlled sine wave current into the grid. The inverter also
implements grid synchronization in order to maintain its current waveform locked to
phase and frequency of the grid voltage. A C2000 piccolo microcontroller with its
on-chip PWM, ADC and analog comparator modules is able to implement complete digital
control of such micro inverter system.
Software Phase Locked Loop Design Using C2000™ Microcontrollers for Single Phase Grid Connected Inverter Application Report
Grid connected applications require an accurate estimate of the grid angle to feed power synchronously to
the grid. This is achieved using a software phase locked loop (PLL). This application report discusses
different challenges in the design of software phase locked loops and presents a methodology to design
phase locked loops using C2000 controllers for single phase grid connection applications.
