As the distributed generation (DG) systems based on small hydro,
wind turbine and solar energy etc., are intermittent power sources, the
grid-connected inverter is employed as an interfacing device to maintain
voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) and power quality. If
these systems are not well controlled then their connection to the utility
network can lead to grid instability or even failure. In order to solve this
problem, current controller plays an important role on grid-connected
inverter system. In this article vector control of grid connected-inverter
system based on grid-flux oriented reference frame is presented. In addition, a modified delta-sigma modulator in the inner feedback loop is
proposed to maintain voltage quality at the utility end with sinusoidal
current injection. Moreover, the proposed control strategy ensures independent control of active and reactive power flowing into the grid. The
overall performance of proposed control strategy is analyzed in MATLAB-Simulink environment and the obtained results are validated with
experimental results in the laboratory prototype using a TMS320F2812
DSP platform.
