This paper proposes a control system for the single-phase Three-Ports Active Neutral- Point-Clamped (ANPC-3P) converter, which can inject a sinusoidal current into the grid, balance the neutral point voltage, and regulate the energy storage system (ESS) current with reduced low-frequency ripple. Despite other applications, ANPC-3P inverter can be used in grid-tied renewable generation to allow the simultaneous connection of a photovoltaic (PV) energy source and an ESS to the AC grid. The ESS is connected directly to the inverter circuit without any auxiliary DC-DC converter, but due to the DC bus pulsed power, it can be subjected to low-frequency current ripple. This undesired current ripple is difficult to filter and can lead to shorter battery life. A control system based on well-known controllers is analyzed and designed. Theoretical analysis is validated experimentally using a single-phase 1-kW prototype.

Through the analysis of 2 single-phase grounding over voltage accidents caused by capacitive over current in 10 kV power grid in this paper, the causes and damages of arc grounding over voltage are illustrated, and the necessity of capacitive current test and effective methods are pointed out. The test and assessment to the 29 substations capacitor currents provides a scientific basis for the correct selection of the neutral point operation mode, and the strengths and weaknesses of the neutral Point grounding through the arc suppression circle and the mode trends of 10kV grid neutral grounding are demonstrated.
