Sustainable Grid-Compliant Rooftop PV Curtailment via LQR-Based Active Power Regulation and QPSO–RL MPPT in a Three-Switch Micro-Inverter Ganesh Moorthy Jagadeesan, Kanagaraj Nallaiyagounder, Vijayakumar Madhaiyan, Qutubuddin Mohammed Sustainability Switzerland, 2026 The increasing penetration of rooftop photovoltaic (RTPV) systems in low-voltage (LV) distribution networks introduces challenges such as voltage rises, reverse power flow, and reduced hosting capacity, thereby necessitating effective active power regulation (APR) in module-level micro-inverters. This paper proposes a dual-layer control framework for a 250 watt-peak (Wp) three-switch rooftop PV micro-inverter, integrating quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization with reinforcement learning (QPSO-RL) for accurate maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) for reserve-aware APR. The QPSO-RL algorithm improves available-power estimation under varying irradiance, temperature, and partial-shading conditions, while the LQR-based controller ensures fast, well-damped, and grid-compliant power regulation. The proposed framework was developed and validated using MATLAB/Simulink 2024 for simulation studies and LabVIEW with NI myRIO 2022 for real-time hardware implementation. Both simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed method achieves 99.5% MPPT accuracy, convergence within 20 ms, grid-injected current total harmonic distortion (THD) below 3%, and a near-unity power factor. In addition, the reserve-based regulation strategy improves feeder compliance and reduces converter stress, thereby supporting reliable rooftop PV integration. These results demonstrate that the proposed QPSO-RL + LQR framework offers a practical and intelligent solution for high-performance, grid-supportive rooftop PV micro-inverter applications.
Design and performance enhancement of small scale solar PV fed PMDC motor based water pumping system using PI controlled FOCV method S Harish, S Sarath Sankar, Vasishta Burugula, J Ganesh Moorthy, P. Raja Proceedings of 2017 IEEE International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy Exploring Energy Solutions for an Intelligent Power Grid Tap Energy 2017, 2018 A solar PV panel is used to derive the maximum available power from the sun's radiation in a given location and to supply it to a water pumping system through a suitable Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system. A PI Controller based Fractional Open Circuit Voltage is implemented by Ziegler Nichols method to adjust the duty cycle of the DC-DC converter to perform the MPPT. This paper aims to design and validate the performance of a small scale water pumping system without the usage of a current sensor in the control circuit under various solar insolation conditions.
