摘要

Renewable energy systems, especially solar power, are vital for modern grids. As renewable energy sources increase, reactive power drawn from the grid rises, affecting power quality. This paper considers a single-phase grid-connected PV system with a new MPPT method, Spatial Recurrent PowerNet (SpaR-Net), for enhanced maximum power tracking and reactive power compensation. The SpaR-Net framework integrates spatial convolutional layers and a recurrent network for effective power tracking in unstable conditions. The reactive power is controlled using a hysteresis current controller, enabling smart inverter operation to deliver active and reactive power. Numerical results indicate that SpaR-Net performs better than other methods in accuracy (98%), power output (98.5%), and tracking efficiency (98.8%). SpaR-Net also provides a quick response time (0.2 s). PSO-MPPT outperforms in power output and tracking efficiency, whereas P&O and Fuzzy-MPPT have lower performances. SpaR-Net also exhibits the fastest convergence rate, i.e., improved adaptability towards irradiance changing conditions.
