A Study on Control Strategy of PV inverter for Harmonic Mitigation in A Microgrid

This paper presents a study of the control strategies of three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter to mitigate its harmonic current output and improve the power quality of the grid. The operation principle and topology of the PV inverter is analyzed by establishing the state-space mathematical model based on the adaptation of proportional resonant (PR) and quasi-proportional resonant (QPR) controllers. According to the characteristics of the PR ad QPR controllers, the theories for mitigating harmonic currents are reviewed. A three-phase ac microgrid with grid-connected inverter systems is then built on Matlab/Simulink and the performances of the inverter controllers for harmonic mitigations are verified by comparing the simulation results.
