Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...

Grid connected inverters play a crucial role in generating energy to be fed to the grid. A filter is commonly used to suppress the switching frequency harmonics produced by the inverter, this being passive, and either an L- or LCL-filter. The latter is smaller in size compared to the L-filter. But choosing the optimal values of the LCL-filter is challenging due to resonance, which can affect st...

The dynamic nature of distributed generation (e.g. from wind) makes to design a control system for wind turbines that utilize wind energy. The design of a wind turbine control system becomes more difficult when the system is operated in grid-connected mode. The major i sues include connection standard, control system complexity, cost and required instrumentation. A low cost control system and i...

A small scale wind energy conversion system has tremendous diversity of use and operating conditions, and consequently is evolving rapidly along with the large scale wind energy conversion system for generation of electricity in either stand-alone or grid connected applications. In recent years, the grid connected small wind turbine industry is primarily dominated by the Permanent Magnet Genera...

The traditional grid-connected PV inverter includes either a line frequency or a high frequency transformer between the inverter and grid. The transformer provides galvanic isolation between the grid and the PV panels. In order to increase the efficiency, to reduce the size and cost, the effective solution is to remove the isolation transformer. It leads to appearance of common mode (CM) ground...

 The resonance between power-factor-correction capacitors and the line reactance is a common cause for harmonic problems in traditional power systems. Grid-connected inverters integrating renewable energy sources into the grid exhibit capacitive output impedance at harmonic frequencies and may also resonate with the grid impedance. In addition to possible amplification of current and voltage ...

Control of PV-grid connected inverter introduces a delay between sinusoidal current reference and measured current at the output of the inverter. This leads to a phase difference between the current injected by the inverter and grid voltage when using a simple PI controller. To overcome this problem, PI controllers used to control injected currents to the grid have been substituted, in this stu...
