The oscillations on output power and distortion of the inverter currents will occur in the case of unbalanced grid voltage faults. Constant output power and good current quality cannot be achieved simultaneously. Aiming at these problems, a coordinate control strategy for suppressing power fluctuations and current harmonics is proposed by analyzing instantaneous power control and current balance control. The proposed control is achieved by adjusting the weight coefficient of current reference values to change the current harmonic contents based on proportional complex integral (PCI) controller and proportional multiple complex integral (PMCI) controller. The control strategy with a simple control structure neither needs to detect harmonic components of the inverter currents, nor needs to separate the positive and negative components of voltage and current, which is easy to be realized. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control are verified by the comparison and analysis of simulation.

Abstract In order to further optimize the output current harmonic suppression effect of photovoltaic grid-connected inverters, a composite control strategy of LCL type photovoltaic grid-connected inverter output current is proposed. This strategy combines proportional complex integral (PCI) control and repetitive control (RC) in parallel, draws a composite control block diagram, introduces a transfer function, and designs PCI and RC control parameters. Prove that the compound control can reduce current harmonics, achieved the purpose of reducing the steady-state error of the fundamental frequency. And adopts a new PCI composite control strategy, which helps to save the cost of the control system. By building the MATLAB/Simulink simulation platform and establishing the PCI+RC composite control model of LCL photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, the comparison of the simulation results shows that compared with the PI+RC control strategy, the total harmonic distortion rate of the grid-connected current is reduced by 25.77. %, significantly improving the quality of grid-connected current.

This paper studies the instantaneous output power characteristics of photovoltaic inverters and its flexible power control strategy under unbalanced grid faults. Then the optimal parameters model of the power control is established with minimum integrated fluctuation amplitude of the active and reactive power as a goal when the constraint of the output current harmonic distortion of photovoltaic inverters is taken into account. Finally, the optimal power control of photovoltaic inverters based on dead-beat current tracking is realized and the feasibility of the proposed control strategy is verified with the power system transient software PSCAD/EMTDC.

Under unbalanced grid voltage faults, the output power oscillation of a grid-connected inverter is an urgent problem to be solved. In the traditional topology of inverters, it is impossible to eliminate power oscillation and simultaneously maintain balanced output current waveform. In this paper, considering the solvability of reference current matrix equation, the inherent mechanism of inverter output power oscillation is analyzed, and a modified topology with auxiliary modules inserted in series between the inverter output filter and the point of common coupling (PCC) is proposed. Due to the extra controllable freedoms provided by auxiliary modules, the inverter could generate extra voltage to correct PCC voltage while keeping balance of output current, so as to eliminate the oscillation of output power. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed topology.

Control strategy under unbalanced grid voltage conditions is one of the most important issues for grid-connected inverter. Under unbalanced grid voltage conditions, the 2nd active and reactive power ripples generate, they pollute the grid. To meet the demands of IEEE Std.929-2000, this paper proposed a modified power compensation control strategy; the proposed solution is based on direct power control. To provide accurate compensating power, the power model of three-phase inverter under unbalanced grid voltage conditions is given, using the positive sequence current component and the negative sequence voltage component, the compensating powers are calculated in details. Theoretical analysis and comparative simulation verification are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Renewable energy resources (RES) are being increasingly connected in distribution systems by utilizing power electronic converters. However, the extensive use of power electronics has resulted in a rise in power quality (PQ) concerns faced by the utility. A novel control strategy implementing reference compensation current was proposed in this paper. So that these grid-connected inverters can achieve maximum benefits when they installed in 3-phase 4-wire distribution systems. The inverter is controlled to perform as a multi-function device by incorporating active power filter functionality. The inverter can thus be utilized as: 1) power converter to transfer active power from RES to the grid, and 2) load reactive power demand support; 3) current harmonics compensation at PCC; and 4) current unbalance and neutral current compensation in case of 3-phase 4-wire system. Moreover, with adequate control of grid-interfacing inverter, all the four objectives can be accomplished either individually or simultaneously. Simulation results show the validity and capability of the novel proposed control strategy.
