Abstract

The multifunctional grid-connected inverter (MFGCIs) has drawn a significant attention among researchers because of its ancillary services such as active power injection into utility grid while also serving as a power quality conditioner. It should be noted that the application of a multifunctional inverter is specifically increased to integrate renewable and sustainable energy sources like solar photovoltaic (SPV) and wind turbine (WT) in distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrid (MGs) where the aim is to diminish the transmission and distribution losses by generating power at one place and catering the load requirement of nearby localities. In concern to the above, the various configurations used in MFGCIs are presented along with their detailed comparative study. Furthermore, control strategies employed in single and three phase MFGCIs are comprehensively reviewed. In addition, an in-depth illustration, comparison, and discussion on MFGCIs are accomplished. Besides this, the author has also made an attempt to provide a detailed explanation on future scopes of MFGCIs in DERs and MGs. Â Â
