Recursive Digital Filter Based Control for Power Quality Improvement of Grid Tied Solar PV System

Project Code :TEPGCS21

Objective

Main objective of this project is eliminating harmonics and compensating reactive power required by the load. And also Control the load unbalancing, voltage sag, voltage distortion, voltage swell and changing solar irradiation conditions.

Abstract

In this project, implementation of a control approach for an active power transfer between solar photovoltaic array and the grid/load is proposed along-with power quality improvement by eliminating harmonics and compensating reactive power required by the load in the distribution network. The Power Quality (PQ) problems at the point of intersection are increasing primarily with respect to voltage and current harmonics due to integration of renewable sources. 

The recursive digital filter control implemented here for PV grid interfaced system is efficient in improving PQ indices by operating round the clock and ensuring power transfer between utility grid and connected loads. 

The importance of the control algorithm lies in the efficient switching of VSC, by generating reference grid currents, which are obtained through indirect current control technique. The recursive digital filter is utilized for processing the load currents and extracting the active power component of them. These active power components of load currents are used for generating the reference grid currents in this system.
