Harmonics elimination and distribution using decentralized control for microgrid applications

Abstract

Decentralized control of a new harmonics distribution method for microgrid is presented in this paper. The compromise between voltage regulation at point of common coupling (PCC) and harmonics sharing is provided. The control algorithm that optimizes microgrid performance regarding these two factors is proposed and its implementation is described. The effect of small error in coupling impedance estimation and a way to resolve the problem is presented. The simulation and experimental results for the proposed configuration are provided.
