[ 1 ] - Load Sharing Control of Parallel Inverters with Uncertainty in the Output Filter Impedances for Islanding Operation of AC Micro-Grid

Parallel connection of inverter modules is a solution to increase reliability, efficiency and redundancy of inverters in Micro-Grid system. Proper load sharing among parallel inverters is a key point. The circulating current among the inverters can greatly reduce the efficiency or even cause instability of the system. In this paper, a control strategy for improving the load sharing performance ...

[ 2 ] - Indirect Control of Single-Phase Active Power Filters using Harmonic Control Arrays

The ever increase of nonlinear loads in electric distribution networks causes many problems due to the high level of harmonic currents. This paper proposes a new technique for controlling a single phase shunt active power filter based on a selective compensation using the newly developed technique of harmonic control arrays. Simulation results confirm the appropriate selective harmonic compensa...

[ 3 ] - A Novel Dynamic Voltage Regulator with a Multi-level AC/AC Converter

This article proposed a novel topology of dynamic voltage regulator using transformer and PWM multi-level AC/AC converter. In this paper for finding the best value of duty ratio for switches to minimize the THD, the GA algorithm has been used and THD output voltage is assumed to be fitness function. The proposed voltage regulator employs multi-level AC/AC converter to generate compensation volt...

[ 4 ] - A New Control Method for Single-Phase Grid-Connected Inverter Using Instantaneous Power Theory

Because of installation for local consumers and since it is free of all contaminations, connecting photovoltaic cells to the grid via single-phase inverter is significantly on the rise. In this paper, a new simple current control is proposed for a single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverter. Using the PQ theory and modelling a single-phase system as an unbalanced three-phase system, a m...

[ 5 ] - Application of the Min-Projection and the Model Predictive Strategies for Current Control of Three-Phase Grid-Connected Converters: a Comparative Study

This paper provides a detailed comparative study concerning the performance of min-projection strategy (MPS) and model predictive control (MPC) systems to control the three-phase grid connected converters. To do so, first, the converter is modeled as a switched linear system. Then, the feasibility of the MPS technique is investigated and its stability criterion is derived as a lower limit on th...
