Abstract
The use of renewable energy sources for the generation of electricity is been extensively used these days due to many aspects like to reduce pollution, to meet load demands, extinction of conventional fuels and many more. This paper gives a detailed analysis of grid connected renewable source in a three phase four wire distribution system with power quality improvement feature. Power quality is necessary where there is a presence of non-linear loads. A 4-leg voltage source inverter (VSI) connecting renewable source and grid serves two purposes: as inverter to invert the output of renewable source to supply power to the grid and as power conditioner. The control scheme presented here to control the VSI effectively conditions the power in 3-phase 4-wire distribution system. The system performance was analyzed with different load conditions like balanced and unbalanced non-linear loads. Also the system was tried out with Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive system and the performance was found to be satisfactory. All the models and results were carried out using Matlab/Simulink software.
