The proposed system injects PV power into the grid, by feeding the SAPF; to eliminate harmonics currents and compensate reactive power produced by nonlinear loads. To inject the photovoltaic power to the grid we use a boost converter controlled by a Fuzzy logic (FLC) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The SAPF system is based on a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI); P-Q theory algorithm is used for references harmonic currents extraction. The overall system is designed and developed using MATLAB/Simulink software. Simulation results confirm the performance of the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on SAPF.

Power Quality Improvement in Grid Connected PV System
International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2017
The general trends in the past decade of increasing solar cell efficiency, decreasing PV system costs, increasing government incentive programs, and several other factors have all combined synergistically to reduce the barriers of entry for PV systems to enter the market and expand their contribution to the global energy portfolio. The shortcomings of current inverter functions which link PV systems to the utility network are becoming transparent as PV penetration levels continue to increase. In this paper an analysis of solar system connected with the grid has been done. The system is subjected with two types of perturbations, i.e. variable load and the variable irradiance level which changes the output of the solar system. The design, modeling, and analysis of a gridtied PV system are performed in the MATLAB software simulation environment. Solar cell works on the principle of photo voltaic effect, which has nonlinear voltage and current characteristics. These characteristics are improved with the help of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. MPPT controller helps to feed the inverter with maximum power from the solar system. Results indicate that in the presence of grid disturbances the inverter can react dynamically to help restore the power system back to its normal state. A harmonic analysis was also performed indicating the inverter under study met the applicable power quality standards for distributed energy resources.
