Control scheme for wind–solar photovoltaic and battery-based microgrid considering dynamic loads and distorted grid

A concern regarding the deterioration in power quality (PQ) has escalated with the high level of integration of renewable energy sources to the utility, primarily in the scenario of a weak distribution grid. This paper presents a modified complex variable filter (MCVF)-based control to enhance the power quality performance of wind–solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery-based microgrid under the weak grid and dynamic load conditions. An MCVF attenuates the harmonics and DC bias infected voltage and current and extracts the fundamental components from distorted current and voltage. The control scheme for the voltage source converter (VSC) is presented to meet the active power demand of load/grid and attenuates harmonics to control the power quality issues at the point of common coupling. To achieve the round, the clock operation of the microgrid, a battery is interfaced to support the local loads under off-grid mode. Therefore, the presented VSC controller supplies the continuous power to the local loads and maintains the total harmonic distortion value of grid current within the PQ Standard IEEE-519-2014. The simulated and test results are presented to validate the VSC controller in different operating conditions.
