Abstract

In this work, solar photovoltaic array-based generation unit is connected to non-ideal distribution network and powering plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure and other local loads connected to AC common bus while ensuring reliable operation of parallel connected voltage source converters under dynamics. A photovoltaic array connected via voltage source inverter, which feeds power to loads and battery is used to act as power management entity and provides reactive power and harmonic power support via converter. In context of widespread incorporation of PEVs and renewable energy sources (RES) into grid, inherent intermittency and dynamic behavior pose significant challenges in establishing a resilient and flexible control framework. Consequently, a solution is proposed that employs dual low pass filter integrated along an adaptive noise elimination filtering algorithm, serving as a primary processing stage. Additionally, integrator-based frequency locked loop control strategy is implemented in conjunction to mitigate power quality concerns, regulate voltage levels, and correct power factor discrepancies. Furthermore, system ensures continuous operation, providing uninterrupted power to local loads even during fluctuating conditions while simultaneously functioning as a seamless PEV charging station. Additionally, a comparative analysis of controller performance is summarized in a tabular format, alongside a power quality assessment. The analysis includes the evaluation of total harmonic distortion (THD) for both grid currents and grid voltages, which are measured at 2.36% and 3.60%, respectively. These values are well within the limits established by IEEE 519 standard, demonstrating compliance with the required power quality criteria. This RES based charging structure topology is tested using a hardware prototype under dynamics and impactful performance is observed through obtained results.
