Control strategy for a modular shunt-connected Power Conditioning System

The increasing penetration of intermittent power generation from renewable energy sources as well as the growing number of non-linear power converters in the electricity grid pose a challenge for securing power quality. In this paper, a control system for a modular, shunt-type Power Conditioning System (PCS) is presented to particularly address voltage and current harmonics and reactive power compensation. A simulation study is carried out to validate the effectiveness of the control methods chosen for the proposed modular PCS.
