Similarly, a PV generation regulation can be implemented through a current control loop with a current reference proportional to limit power. This method is known as current limiting. Direct power control and current limiting methods operate independently of the MPPT methods. But, modified MPPT methods can also limit active power.
Current/voltage controllers and MPPTs algorithms are required in both cases. In islanded systems it is possible to implement additional controllers for the energy management of energy storage systems (ESS) and filters to improve the quality of power supplied to loads [6, 7].
Typically, reactive power compensation and harmonics elimination are challenging and demanding tasks for improving the efficacy of grid-connected solar PV systems. For this purpose, many research works developed different converter and controller topologies for solving the power quality issues in grid-PV systems.
According to operation point, the control algorithms limits the maximum power that PV system can inject into grid. The techniques used are direct power control, current limiting and modified MPPT methods . In direct power control and current limiting methods, PV systems must be provided with reserve capability.
Power converters are fundamental components in PV systems because they carry out the control actions. The control requirements of islanded and grid-connected systems are different. Current/voltage controllers and MPPTs algorithms are required in both cases.
Lack of inertial part and intermittency of the RESs causes frequency instability in the power system. The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) development has been made to add inertial control to the power system for controlling the frequency deviation caused by the integration of the photovoltaic system.
