One way to achieve this, is that power converters are capable of actively track active and reactive power-setpoints, that are computed by suitable centralized or decentralized control schemes. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm which enables the control of a boost converter to achieve arbitrary active-power reference tracking for photovoltaic plants, not operating in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode.Explicit control of active and reactive powerPower electronic convertersReal-time reference trackingBoost converterReal-time systemsPower electronicsepfl-smartgridstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
