Abstract. The objective of the current work is to enhance the performance of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system by creating a dependable continuous-time model predictive control (CT-MPC) method. The suggested controller uses a Lyapunov-based formulation within the model predictive control (MPC) framework, and the photovoltaic (PV) panel has been meticulously modeled. In the process, dynamic performance is improved, and system stability is guaranteed. To improve power management and guarantee steady performance in a variety of environmental circumstances, this control strategy is used to a DC-DC boost converter. The simulation findings from this study provide empirical evidence for the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is more efficient, resilient, and flexible than conventional control methods.
