This study provides an adaptive control approach of VSC (voltage source converter) coupled with SPV (solar photovoltaic array), in a 3P3W (three-phase three-wire) system with three single-phase non-linear loads having Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) abilities using P and O (perturb & observe) methodology. The adaptive control technique converges quickly and has a low mean square error. For the correction of power factor and zero voltage regulation modes, the system is studied and simulated. The system’s great efficacy at high voltages is due to its one-stage structure. Grid current harmonics are significantly below the IEEE-519 norm. The suggested system is modeled and simulated with the available sim power system toolbox in MATLAB/Simulink, and the system’s behavior under different loads and environmental circumstances is confirmed.

Voltage source converter (VSC) has been extensively applied in renewable energy systems which can rapidly regulate the active and reactive power. This paper aims at developing a novel optimal nonlinear adaptive control (ONAC) scheme to control VSC in both rectifier mode and inverter mode. Firstly, the nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, time-varying external disturbances, and unmodelled dynamics can be aggregated into a perturbation, which is then estimated by an extended state observer (ESO) called high-gain perturbation observer (HGPO) online. Moreover, the estimated perturbation will be fully compensated through state feedback. Besides, the observer gains and controller gains are optimally tuned by a recent emerging biology-based memetic salp swarm algorithm (MSSA), the utilization of such method can ensure a desirably satisfactory control performance. The advantage of ONAC is that even though the operation conditions are constantly changing, the control performance can still be maintained to be globally consistent. In addition, it is noteworthy that in rectifier mode only the reactive power and DC voltage are required to be measured, while in inverter mode merely the reactive power and active power have to be measured. At last, in order to verify the feasibility of ONAC in practical application, a hardware experiment is implemented.

In this paper, fuzzy logic controller (FLC)-based three-phase shunt active power filter with photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed. This filter comprises voltage source converter (VSC) with DC link capacitor at the input side and is supplied by PV system. The salient feature of the filter is that it provides reactive power compensation with line current harmonic reduction and also neutral compensation at point of common coupling (PCC). The PV system and a battery are connected with VSC through DC–DC converter. This paper also proposes a control algorithm using instantaneous [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] theory that generates a reference current to counteract the harmonics. The FLC controls the DC link voltage in reference to the above reference current. The performance of the proposed filter for compensation is confirmed by using the MATLAB/Simulink environment and results are validated.

The Wind generation system has potential application for the grid support that could be utilized in rural areas. However, continuous variation of wind speed results in severe power quality problems, especially in a standalone village network. In distributed generation, wind power system can cause sub harmonic and interharmonic components to appear in the spectrum of voltage and currents. These harmonics can cause flicker, overload, and interference, on the electronic equipments. This paper proposes Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is the most efficient and effective modern custom power device used in power distribution networks. This could be used to improve the power quality in a rural load fed from a wind driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The reference voltage is tracked by voltage source converter using a switching band scheme. A method of extracting the phasor symmetrical components that contain both integer and non integer harmonics and complex Fourier transform relation is proposed. In this paper, it is demonstrated that this device can tightly regulate the voltage at the load terminal when load draws integer, non integer harmonic current and sag and swell in the source side.

The use of power electronic converters influences the generation of harmonics and reactive power flow in power system. Therefore, three-phase multilevel improved power quality AC-DC converters are gaining lot of popularity in power conversion applications. This work deals with critical problem of multilevel structure i.e neutral point potential (NPP) variation. In this paper, a simplified current controlled scheme is presented to ensure unity power factor operation. Neutral point potential (NPP) of three-phase, 3-level NPC AC-DC converter is controlled by modifying control signal in the controller using NPP regulator. An auxiliary circuit is being presented in this paper as an alternative option for controlling the neutral point potential of the converter. Comparison has been carried out between these control techniques in terms of power quality. A complete mathematical model is presented for better understanding of both techniques used for NPP control. The presented control techniques has been verified through simulation investigations and validated
