Simple Harmonic Compensation Scheme for a Grid-connected Inverter in Distributed Generation Systems

A new simple and effective scheme to improve power quality for a grid-connected inverter in distributed generation systems under distorted grid voltages will be presented. The proposed scheme is constructed with two controllers to regulate fundamental and harmonic components separately. In order to accomplish the proposed control scheme, the fourth order band pass filter is used to extract harmonic components from distorted gird voltages. Then, the undesired harmonic components are excellently suppressed by proportional decoupling controller. Experimental results are presented to verify the simplicity and effectiveness of proposed scheme.
