Performance Improvement of Grid Integrated Solar

PV System using DNLMS Control Algorithm

Abstract
An integration of renewable sources based distributed generating systems, encounters various
power quality (PQ) issues due to uncertain loads at the distribution end. These uncertainties arise
due to nonlinearity, disturbances or unbalanced loads. A 3-phase grid integrated solar photovoltaic
(PV) system incorporating a control technique based on modified decorrelation normalized least
mean square (DNLMS) algorithm, aiming to enhance its overall performance under adverse
conditions, is presented in this work. The 3-phase, grid tied, single stage solar PV system
comprises of solar PV array with a suitable maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method,
filters, loads, and a capacitor fed voltage source converter (VSC). The key objectives of the solar
PV integrated structure with adaptive law based control algorithm is to attain unity power factor
(UPF) at the grid end ensuring harmonics mitigation from the grid currents. Moreover, this
structure effectively transfers active power from the PV array to the local loads and the grid. These
aforesaid objectives are achieved through providing controlled switching pulses to the insulated
gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based VSC using a modified DNLMS control algorithm with fast
convergence rate. Harmonics free, sinusoidal reference grid currents, are obtained by using a
modified DNLMS algorithm. A simulation model developed in MATLAB/ Simulink, is used for
validation of a modified DNLMS based control approach.
Existing method
An integration of RSEGS encounters challenging issues due to uncertainties in the distribution
system. These uncertainties arise due to nonlinearity, disturbances or unbalanced loads. Moreover,
grid tied RSEGS come across challenges in maintaining reliability, stability, synchronization and
performance of the overall system. Hence, the grid tied RSEGS have to satisfy the restrictions
imposed by the grid codes . Grid tied distributed generators suffer from various power quality (PQ)
issues at the load as well as grid side
