<span>In the microgrid systems, three-phase inverter becomes the main power electronic interface for renewable distributed energy resources (DERs), especially for the islanded microgrids in which the power quality is easily affected by unbalanced and nonlinear loads, this is due to the fact that the voltage and frequency of the microgrid are not supported by the main power grid but determined only by the inverters. Therefore, the compensation of the load unbalances and harmonics in autonomous microgrid inverters are getting more attention in power quality research areas. The main purpose of this paper is to represent an overview of the control strategies of various inverters for unbalanced load compensation</span>


A technique is introduced to improve the voltage sag under sudden changes in load. The proposed technique is implemented by D-STATCOM (Distribution static compensator) and it is controlled by ISCT (Instantaneous Symmetrical Component Theory). Due to sudden changes in load, the voltage dip occurs at the time of switching of loads. At this time, the control technique generates reference currents and hysteresis block compares these currents with the reference currents and generates the pulses to D-STATCOM. Implementation of system along with compensation is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK

Control strategies for extracting the three-phase reference currents for shunt active power filters are compared, evaluating their performance under different source conditions in MATLAB/Simulink environment and also with Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) Hardware. When the supply voltages are balanced and sinusoidal, the two control strategies are converging to the same compensation characteristics but when the supply voltages are distorted and/or un-balanced sinusoidal, these control strategies result in different degrees of compensation in harmonics. The p-q control strategy is unable to yield an adequate solution when source voltages are not ideal.  Extensive Simulations are carried out with PI controller for both p-q and Id-Iq control strategies for different voltage conditions and adequate results were presented. The 3-ph 4-wire SHAF system is also implemented on RTDS Hardware to further verify its effectiveness. The detailed simulation and RTDS Hardware results are included.

A novel compensator topology is proposed for three-phase unbalanced loads in the distribution networks. The negative and zero sequence compensation networks are proposed using delta-connected and star-connected capacitor banks. The compensation networks are paralleled with the unbalanced load to achieve a perfect balancing of active power and a complete compensation of reactive power of the unbalanced load. Intelligent grouping compound switches are implemented to control the capacitors, where, therefore, each capacitor can be switched between phases or phase and ground. Wireless sensors are also applied to acquire the load quantities. The compensation method proposed is based on symmetrical component theory. In addition, the load compensation based on instantaneous symmetrical component theory with positive sequence online extraction is proposed under unbalanced and distorted source voltages. The proposed load-balancing method and device are applied to Liaoning, Neimenggu, and Jilin provinces. The application results are provided to validate the performance of the proposed compensator topology and compensation method.
