“…The PI-based DC-link voltage controller is simple to implement and is therefore preferred by most researchers, including [30], [32], [35], [38], [39], [55], [59], [60]- [62], [67], [75], [76], [79], [81], [92], [101]- [103], [107], [116]- [118], [120], [122]- [128], [130], [134], [136], [139], [140], [145], [146], [148], [155], [157], [160], [161], [165], [167], [171], and [184]- [186].…”

Recent developments in power electronics technology have spurred interest in the use of renewable energy sources as distributed generation (DG) generators. The key component in DG generators is a grid-connected inverter that serves as an effective interface between the renewable energy source and the utility grid. The multifunctional inverter (MFI) is special type of grid-connected inverter that has elicited much attention in recent years. MFIs not only generate power for DGs but also provide increased functionality through improved power quality and voltage and reactive power support; thus, the capability of the auxiliary service for the utility grid is improved. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the various MFI system configurations for single-phase (two-wire) and three-phase (three-or four-wire) systems and control strategies for the compensation of different power quality problems. The advances in practical applications and recent research on MFIs are presented through a review of nearly 200 papers.

Abstract-Among the existing renewable sources, wind energy is reaching production rates that are becoming important on the worldwide energy scene. Since the control of these wind generators is a very technical discipline, practical teaching methodologies are of special relevance. Paradoxically, in the past, the training of engineers specializing in this area has lacked the practical component represented by field tests, due to the difficulty of access to this kind of installation. This paper presents a system designed for use both in teaching and training procedures for control strategies for wind generators with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) technology. The system includes two phases or levels of use: the first being a simulation phase based on computer models, and the second, an advanced level which allows for the conducting of tests on a laboratory scaled workbench composed of a wind turbine emulator coupled to an electric generator. With this equipment, the effectiveness of the wind generator regulation systems can be analyzed from the point of view of the maximum power point tracking control strategy, as well as from that of the contribution produced by the wind generator to the control of the operation of the electric grid to which it is connected.

“…A fundamental classification of small generators is based on their capability to produce controlled active power on demand. Sources that lack this capability (such as photovoltaic panels or wind turbines) are normally operated under PQ control [17,18], ensuring that maximum active power P is extracted from the prime source, under a constant reactive power Q or power factor (possibly regulated). In our system, reactive power is controlled by the dq algorithm shown in Figure 9.…”

This paper presents a dual digital signal processor (DSP) hardware architecture for a grid-connected photovoltaic interface test benchmark, based on a cascade DC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter, with coordinated control algorithms. The control hardware has been designed to test distributed generation (DG) interfaces to be integrated in a hierarchical structure of computational agents, to apply distributed control techniques to the power system management. The proposed dual DSP architecture enables the programming of the control software for the DC/DC converter and the DC/AC inverter in the same processor, to keep the other one for additional operations that are required when there is a high degree of interaction between the DG 2 unit and the rest of the electrical grid components. The hardware architecture has been tested in several real situations such as power factor correction and anti-islanding protection.
