Solar photovoltaic energy is a very promising and important sustainable global energy source. Despite its many advantages, it is still an expensive alternative, which explains the fact that it has not yet became commercially popular. Studies already show that the investments in such systems are...

In this paper, the power factor of a grid-connected photovoltaic inverter is controlled using the input output Feedback Linearization Control (FLC) technique. This technique transforms the nonlinear state model of the inverter in the d–q reference frame into two equivalent linear subsystems,...
