Features of Power Quality in Single-Phase Distributed Power Generation Using Adaptive Nature Vectorial Filter

This paper presents the new controller for voltage and frequency control (VFC) of two-winding single-phase induction generator. It provides coordinated control of battery energy storage system (BESS) and dump load during the mismatch of power between loads and generator using VFC loop. It provides protection against overcharging of BESS. For this purpose adaptive vectorial filter (AVF) is implemented to operate single-phase induction generator in standalone mode of operation for power quality features. The unique feature of this filtering technique is its simplicity and no other analogy filters are required to produce the reconstructed signal of fundamental frequency. This procedure uses the vectorial natures of the single-phase input signal, which is decomposed by shifting property in the α-β orientation frame in order to get the diverse harmonic constituents. The design and analysis of AVFs for the proposed system is carried out in order to find the required performance. The proposed control method is evaluated by simulations in MATLAB/Simulink followed by experimental validation in laboratory for signifying its capability to execute different harmonic constituents under an extremely distorted generator current. Apart from control method, design of generator with finite-element method and its electromagnetic properties are also discussed.
