Existing research often lacks comprehensive modeling, real-world validation, and explicit adherence to grid connection standards. Thus, this paper aims to present a detailed modeling, design, and control strategy for a grid-connected PV system that accurately reflects the behavior of the 15-megawatt-peak (MW_p) PV plant at Oued El Kebrit, Algeria, while adhering to the IEEE 929–2000 and European EN 50160 grid connection standards.

According to the sparse representation principle, the preliminary determination of the discharge stage can be realized by ignoring the influence of aging; secondly, to solve the influence of feature parameter correlation on the determination result, the statistical feature parameters are sparsely reconstructed to realize the ordering of the effectiveness of the statistical feature parameters; lastly, to take into account the influence of the aging of the insulating cardboard, the plausible weights of the aging factor are calculated, and the number of votes for the development stage of partial discharge is determined according to the Borda voting mechanism.

For this purpose, a novel two-stage methodology is introduced to address planning and operation separately, in which decision variables that remain constant over time (e.g., location of DERs, EVCSs, and CBs) are distinguished from those that can be adjusted in real-time (e.g., network configuration, CB taps, and DER operating points). The main objective is to minimize overall costs, voltage deviation, and power losses while ensuring compliance with network constraints. The optimization problem is addressed through the multi-objective cuckoo search, and the final solution is chosen using the fuzzy decision-making method.

This study proposes a repetitive control proportional-integral (RCPI) controller approach for the cascaded H-bridge (CHB) five-level grid following inverter to synchronize with the grid and satisfy enhanced power quality standards IEEE519 for large rooftop solar PV plant application system. Additionally, this proposed control topology performance has compared to PI controller-based MMGFSI’s and repetitive controller cascaded PI controller-based MMGFSI’s system. The proposed RCPI MMGFSI’s system performance has been tested on a PSIM simulation environment on a grid-connected, photovoltaic (PV) system with a diversity of linear and nonlinear load disturbances to show the viability and resilience of the suggested repetitive control strategy in practice. To provide the necessary carrier control signal for the sinusoidal pulse width modulation block (SPWM), a cycle delay has introduced in the RCPI feedback path. As a result, reducing grid-side harmonic distortion lowers the cost of the LCL filter connected to the inverter output This RCPI-based MMGFSI has 4.1 percent less overall harmonic distortion than the conventional PI controller-based MMGFSI and 0.21 percent less total harmonic distorted than repetitive cascaded PI controller-based MMGFSI’s system.

The first step in the proposed approach involves the implementation of a passive islanding detection method based on continuous monitoring of voltage and current phasors at DG buses equipped by micro-phasor measurement units (μPMUs).
