Renewable energy sources provide the additional/satisfy the power to the consumer through power electronics interfaces and integrated with the grid. In grid integration power quality is one of the important parameter that need to be paying more attention. This proposed work focuses on power quality issues in a grid connected renewable energy system. Power quality issues will arises due to many factors here with the by introducing a fault condition in a grid connected renewable energy system the measurements were made at the point of common coupling and the mitigation is done with the help of a dynamic voltage restorer. The dynamic voltage restorer is a device which offers series compensation activated by neural network based controller. The sag improvement and the total harmonic assessment were made at the point of common coupling. Keywords: Neural network, Point of common coupling, Renewable energy source, Power quality, Dynamic voltage restorer ,electric grid.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a proportional resonant controller with a resonant harmonic compensator and switch-type fault current limiter, as a fault-ride through strategy for a three-phase, grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system under normal conditions and asymmetrical faults. The switch-type fault limiter comprised of current-limiting inductors, a bridge rectifier, a snubber capacitor, linear transformers, and energy absorption bypass. Furthermore, a critical and analytical comparison of switch-type fault limiters is carried out, with the conventional crowbar as the fault-ride through strategy, in combination with a conventionally tuned proportional integrator controller. The designed fault-ride through strategies with proportional integrator and proportional resonant controllers with resonant harmonic compensators are tested at the point of common coupling of the photovoltaic system and at a distance of 19 km from the point of common coupling, in order to analyze the impacts of fault parameter with respect to location. A MATLAB/Simulink model of a 100 kW three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic system is used for analysis. The simulation results of the proposed switch-type fault limiter with proportional resonant controller effectively validate the stable, ripple-free, and robust response compared to all other configurations. In addition, it is also verified that the grid faults on the PV system have a significant impact on fault type, and less impact on fault location.

With the increasing impedance coupling between inverters and grid caused by the phase-locked loop (PLL), traditional three-phase inverters suffer from the harmonic distortion or instability problems under weak grid conditions. Therefore, the admittance reshaping control methods are proposed to mitigate the interactions between inverters and grid. Firstly, a dynamics model of traditional inverter output admittance including main circuit and PLL is developed in the direct-quadrature (dq) frame. And the qq channel impedance of the inverter presents as a negative incremental resistance with the PLL effect. Secondly, two admittance reshaping control methods are proposed to improve the system damping. The first reshaping technique uses the feedforward point of common coupling (PCC) voltage to modify the inverter output admittance. The second reshaping technique adopts the active damping controller to reconstruct the PLL equivalent admittance. The proposed control methods not only increase the system phase margin, but also ensure the system dynamic response speed. And the total harmonic distortion of steady-state grid-connected current is reduced to less than 2%. Furthermore, a specific design method of control parameters is depicted. Finally, experimental results are provided to prove the validity of the proposed control methods.

Electrified railway traction transformer is a pivot that connects the electric locomotive and the public grid. Therefore, power quality problems caused by electric locomotive such as three-phase voltage imbalance, great voltage fluctuation and high harmonic content can be transmitted to the public grid via the traction transformer. To solve this problem, the solution of two sets of single-phase SVG (Static Var Generator) in back-to-back operation to solve power quality problems of the electrified railway is raised. This solution has been proved by practice effective in improving power quality of the traction transformer.
