Abstract

The proposed paper aims to analyze the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of a three-phase SPPS (Solar Photovoltaic Power System) and a comparison of THD analysis is done via conventional RC (Resonant Current) and the Novel PRESH (PRES + RESH) Controller. Presently, to eliminate the harmonics from three phase SPPS, various filters and controllers have already been proposed, but they either result in having THD on the higher side or make the system bulky. These techniques fail to eliminate the harmonic when the reference waveform gets distorted from its original position. The Novel PRESH Controller proposed here is a combination of PRES (Proportional Resonant) and RESH (Resonant Harmonic) controllers where inverter current is used as input to a compensator of lower forward gain instead of applying the difference between reference current signal and grid current as in conventional RC controller. The proposed controller can also overcome the problem of distorted reference waveform. An Experimental Setup is designed for investigating the Novel PRESH controller in terms of THD mitigation and a comparison is made with the conventional RC controller with the help of BP (Bode Plot) to show that the proposed Novel PRESH controller can tackle the distorted reference waveform in a reliable manner. Furthermore, to show that the THD obtained through the help of the Novel PRESH Controller is much lower than that of a conventional RC controller and under the limit as defined by IEEE standards 519 and 1547.
