Voltage harmonics suppression add-on functionality without additional sensors for existing grid-connected inverters

A strategy for voltage harmonics suppression is proposed to upgrade existing grid-connected inverters. It utilizes the already available measurement of the voltage at the point of common connection and the inverter output current. As a result, on top of conventional power injection, the inverter is equipped with an additional feature for harmonics compensation. Model analysis, simulation and experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
