This document outlines a thesis proposal on grid interactive solar PV power generation and control using MATLAB/Simulink. The objectives are to simulate a realistic solar PV module and MPPT algorithms with a boost converter controller. Multi-level inverters including diode-clamped and cascaded H-bridge VSI will be modeled along with their control. A three-phase non-linear load and 3-phase 3-wire shunt active power filter using p-q theory will be designed. Harmonics analysis at the point of common coupling is also proposed. A literature review covers solar energy trends in India, grid-connected inverters, MPPT techniques, multi-level inverters, power filters and harmonic compensation control strategies
