Abstract(s)

This paper is focused on the control system for photovoltaic (PV) generators using three-phase triple inverters. These inverters allow for a distributed PV system, and at the same time, they provide AC multilevel operation. The proposed controller is designed to allow the operation of the inverter in a way that it can extend support to the grid with ancillary services. One of the ancillary services that the three-phase triple inverter can support is the injection of unbalanced currents in order to eliminate or attenuate grid load unbalances. Therefore, the proposed topology will be extended to accommodate four wires. The capability of the system to support the grid with ancillary services, especially the compensation of unbalanced loads, the four-wire multilevel topology operation and the proposed controller will be verified through several simulation tests.
