A synchronous generator based diesel-PV hybric micro-grid with power quality controller

This paper presents an isolated microgrid, with synchronous generator(SG) based diesel generation(DG) system in combination with solar photo-voltaic(PV). The DG supplies power to the load directly, and a battery supported voltage source converter (VSC) is connected in shunt at point of common coupling (PCC). The PV array is connected at DC-link of the VSC through a boost converter. A high order optimization based adaptive filter control scheme is used for maintaining the quality of PCC voltages and source currents. This controller makes the waveform free of distortion, removes errors due to unbalances, corrects the power factor and makes the source current smooth sinusoidal, irrespective of the nature of load. MATLAB/Simulink based simulation results demonstrate satisfactory performance of the given system.
