This paper presents an overview of the existing PV energy conversion systems, addressing the system configuration of different PV plants, and the PV converter topologies that have found practical applications for grid-connected systems.
Grid-connected PV systems enable consumers to contribute unused or excess electricity to the utility grid while using less power from the grid. The application of the system will determine the system’s configuration and size. Residential grid-connected PV systems are typically rated at less than 20 kW.
Utility type also affects the architecture of solar PV grid-integrated configuration, whether single phase or three phase. The single-stage and double-stage power processing solar PV integrated configurations are determined by the number of power processing stages involved in each system.
Apart from this, the control aspects of grid-connected solar PV systems are categorized into two important segments, namely, a) DC-side control and b) AC-side control. This article covers the important features, utilization, and significant challenges of this controller and summarizes the advanced control techniques available in the literature.
The state-of-the-art features of multi-functional grid-connected solar PV inverters for increased penetration of solar PV power are examined. The various control techniques of multi-functional grid-connected solar PV inverters are reviewed comprehensively.
PV grid-connected converters need a phase and frequency tracking system to provide a reference signal to synchronize it with the grid voltage. It is critical in a synchronization system with a high degree of immunity to harmonics, unbalances, and power system disturbances as sags and swells.

What is a grid connection point?
A grid connection point (GCP) is the specific location where a grid user – can be an energy producer supplying power to the grid or an energy consumer drawing power from the grid – is physically connected to the grid infrastructure. The grid operator is responsible for covering the expenses associated with the grid infrastructure up to this connection point.
