Improving Voltage Ride-Through Capability of Grid-Tied Microgrid with Harmonics Mitigation

Also Available Domains Power Quality

Project Code :TEPGPS725

Objective

The main objective of this project is mitigating the harmonic distortions caused by the nonlinear loads. In a microgrid system, VRT refers to the system's ability to maintain its operations during voltage disturbances, such as voltage sags or swells, without disconnection from the grid

Abstract

The project aims to improve the voltage ride-through (VRT) capability of a grid-tied microgrid system while mitigating the harmonic distortions caused by nonlinear loads. The proposed system utilizes a control strategy that incorporates a DC-link voltage controller, a harmonic filter, and a VRT controller to regulate the DC-link voltage, mitigate harmonic distortions, and maintain system operations during voltage disturbances. The benefits of the proposed system include improved VRT capability, enhanced power quality, reduced losses, and increased efficiency. The proposed system is expected to provide reliable and stable power to the loads during voltage disturbances while reducing energy costs and improving the overall sustainability of the microgrid system. Overall, this project addresses important challenges facing microgrid systems, such as maintaining operations during voltage disturbances and mitigating harmonic distortions caused by nonlinear loads. By improving the VRT capability and power quality of the microgrid system, the proposed system can help to increase the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of grid-tied microgrid systems.
