In this paper, new optimal procedures are introduced to design the finest controllers and harmonic compensators (HCs) of three-level cascaded control for three-phase grid-supporting inverters based-AC microgrid. The three control levels, comprising primary, secondary and synchronization control levels, are developed in stationary αβ-frame and based on the proportional–integral (PI) controllers and the proportional-resonant controllers along with additional HCs. The new optimal design guidelines of microgrid’s controllers and HCs are aimed to fulfill the study requirements. The optimization objectives and constraints are employed to minimize both the total harmonic distortion (THD) and individual harmonics of microgrid’s voltage to enhance the quality of microgrid’s output power. The THD of microgrid’s voltage can be reduced to 0.19% under the nonlinear loads. Moreover, the microgrid’s voltage and frequency can be perfectly regulated with zero deviations. Furthermore, these new optimal procedures accelerate the speed of synchronization process between the external power grid and the microgrid to be accomplished in time less than 20 ms. Additionally, an accurate power-sharing among paralleled operated inverters can be achieved to avoid overstressing on any one. Also, seamless transitions can be guaranteed between grid-tied and isolated operation mode. The optimal controllers and HCs are designed by a new optimization algorithm called H-HHOPSO, which is created by hybridizing between Harris hawks optimization and particle swarm optimization algorithms. The effectiveness and robustness of the H-HHOPSO-based controllers and HCs are compared with other meta-heuristic optimization algorithms-based controllers and HCs. A microgrid, including two grid-supporting inverters based optimal controllers and optimal HCs, are modeled and carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK to test the performance under linear and nonlinear loads, and also during the interruption of any one of two inverters. The performance is investigated according to IEC/IEEE harmonic standards, and compared with the conventional control strategy developed in synchronous dq-frame and based on only PI controllers.

Pulswidth modulation (PWM) methods were developed to grant the voltage source inverter (VSI) output signal better quality measures. The PWM method that VSI relies on must consider the utilization of the direct current (DC) source, especially when the drive system works in the overmodulation region. In this paper, different zero-sequence harmonic injection PWM methods are proposed. Two essential objectives are optimized by minimizing total harmonic distortion and maximizing the DC bus utilization. All schemes’ results are compared with each other and with some of the commonly used PWM schemes. This paper concludes the usage of third, ninth, and fifteenth harmonic injections and any combination of them to reach a new PWM method that overtakes the disadvantages of other methods. Meanwhile, it provides a handy tool to operate VSI optimally. Ultimately, this work concludes to what extent is the zero-sequence injection is helpful. The work is evaluated experimentally, and the practical results match the simulation outcomes.

The use of different control techniques has become very popular for controlling the
performance of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. Although the proportional-integral (PI) control technique is very popular, there are some difficulties such as less stability, slow dynamic response, low reference tracking capability, and lower output power quality in solar PV applications. In this paper, a robust, fast, and dynamic proportional-integral resonance controller with a harmonic and lead compensator (PIR + HC + LC) is proposed to control the current of a 15-level neutral-pointclamped
(NPC) multilevel inverter. The proposed controlled is basically a proportional-integral
resonance (PIR) controller with the feedback of a harmonic compensator and a lead compensator. The performance of the proposed controller is analyzed in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation result represents admirable performance in terms of stability, sudden load change response, fault handling capability, reference tracking capability, and total harmonic distortion (THD) than those of the existing controllers. The responses of the inverter and grid outlets under different
conditions are also analyzed. The harmonic compensator decreases the lower order harmonics of grid voltage and current, and the lead compensator provides the phase lead. It is expected that the proposed controller is a dynamic aspirant in the grid-connected PV system.

The simple circuit based on DC-DC converters is the main attractive feature of the differential inverter topologies. It has a single-stage and provides modularity and scalability. However, the Negative Sequence Harmonic Component (NSHC) generated at the output terminal may hinder its practical applications. This paper presents a single-stage three-phase isolated differential inverter based on three High-Frequency Link (HFL) transformer-based DC-DC SEPIC converters. The utilized SEPIC converters perform voltage step-up/ down capability with galvanic isolation, which is essential for Renewable Energy Sources (RES). It mitigates the Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Moreover, this paper proposes a two-loop based d-q synchronous frame grid-current control to mitigate its NSHC. A Type-II compensator and simple NSHC detection circuit are proposed to enhance the inverter's stability and compensate phase-delay of the utilized SEPIC converters. NSHC detection is developed using three cascaded Low Path Filters (LPFs). A 1.6kW inverter prototype was set to validate the performance of the proposed inverter and its control. The control is implemented by the MWPE3 C6713A Expert III DSP board. The proposed topology has a maximum efficiency of 89.744 at 700W output power and 86.4% at full power. The proposed control decreases the NSHC from 40.6 % to 1.614%, which shows its accuracy and precision. Furthermore, THD is reduced from 35.61% to 4.087% and satisfy the recent grid codes (<5%). The simulation results using PSIM software, power loss distribution, and a comparison study of the proposed inverter with similar topologies are also presented.
