Abstract

In this paper, a new method is proposed to control the interface Inverter of distributed generators (DGs) in a microgrid. The objective of this method is to effectively
compensate for the harmonic currents at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) and the MG with the Absence of dedicated compensation devices, such as Active Power Filters (APFs). The proposed control method is composed of the Adjustable Synchronous Reference Frame (ASRF) and the Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) methods. The ASRF and SRF are proposed to control the power injection and harmonic current compensation, respectively. The merged control methods are proposed for the interface inverter to perform the comprehensive activity of compensating for the harmonics, such as a correction of the system imbalance and the removal of the harmonics. The operation principle of the proposed control method is analyzed in detail, and its effectiveness is validated through simulation results.
