To improve the efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) system, the centralized topology using three-level inverters are widely used. In this
system, PV modules are separately connected to the split DC-links. This causes a decrease of maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
efficiency under the partial shading condition. This paper proposes an independent control of two DC-link voltages for separate
MPPT of each PV module in three-level inverters. The proposed method is simply implemented by adding or subtracting the time-
offset to the three-phase turn-on times and modifying the reference voltages without complex calculations or any additional
hardware. Simulations and experimental results verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed methods.
