The research project focuses on identifying and mitigating power quality problems reported in power-electronics based power systems. The focus is especially in three-phase solar energy systems, where power electronic inverter is the key component.
Goal
Impedance mismatch between grid-connected inverters and the grid have been observed to cause severe malfunction and harmonic resonance phenomena, which may compromise the availability and stability of grid-connected renewable sources.
This project aims to find out what can be done in terms of control design and impedance-shaping to reduce the likelyhood of the unstable behavior of the inverter.
