The inverter with critical loads should be able to provide critical loads with a stable and seamless voltage during control mode change as well as clearing time. The indirect current control has been proposed for providing stable voltage with critical load during clearing time and seamless control mode transfer of inverters. However, the islanding detection is difficult since with the indirect current control the magnitude and frequency of voltage do not change when the islanding occurs. The conventional anti-islanding method based on the magnitude and frequency of voltage variation cannot apply to the indirect current control. This paper proposes an islanding detection method for the indirect current control. The proposed islanding detection method can detect the islanding using reactive power perturbation and observation when the frequency and magnitude of voltage don’t vary during clearing time. In order to verify the proposed anti-islanding method, the experimental results of a 600W three-phase inverter are provided.

The need for energy is increasing day-by-day, which is a large part of total global energy consumption. The crises of fossil fuels and nuclear power will run out someday in the future. Therefore, we aim to develop energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) especially from solar. The growth of solar energy has increase day by day to meet the demand in the future. In this paper, modeling and analyzing of a transformer-less grid-connected inverter is proposed for solar photovoltaic (PV)-grid interface system. The scope of the transformer-less inverter is used to minimize ground leakage current in the grid. The inverter is directly connected to unbiased grid line and PV array inverting terminal to compensate the ground leakage current. The transformer-less grid connected inverter is used to compensate reactive power, extraction of high energy from PV array, and low grid current distortion. The inverter is also used to improve tracking output current reference, grid synchronization, and to provide a safety margin of forced direct current into the grid. In the control circuit the Proportional Resonant (PR) controller is used. Atmega328 based reduced rated hardware is developed for verifying the system enhancements and the experimental results are used to prove the proposed methodology for control of transformer less grid interactive inverter which supports both active and reactive power to the loads.
