Abstract

• Implementation and validation of proposed topology functions as a PEV charging station with coordinated control using parallel voltage source converters (VSC_B and VSC_PV), ensuring power supply to both local loads and the grid. • The elaborate control discussed in this paper aims to generate precise reference grid currents in grid interface mode during abnormal grid circumstances, while grid voltages experience an unbalanced and negative sequence fifth and positive sequence seventh order harmonic components. • VSC_PV controller maintains unity power factor and sinusoidal currents at the point of common coupling (PCC), while VSC_B controller supports grid power and compensates for reactive power and harmonics due to nonlinear loads amidst grid uncertainties. • The system's adaptability is demonstrated through DC link controllers accurately maintaining reference voltage under dynamic conditions, and H-FLL (Hybrid Frequency Locked Loop) control structure ensures precise extraction of fundamental components, leading to sinusoidal grid currents and effective power quality management. • To enhance control aspects a comparative analysis of control approach under perturbations is carried out. In this work, solar photovoltaic array-based generation unit is connected to non-ideal distribution network and powering plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure and other local loads connected to AC common bus while ensuring reliable operation of parallel connected voltage source converters under dynamics. A photovoltaic array connected via voltage source inverter, which feeds power to loads and battery is used to act as power management entity and provides reactive power and harmonic power support via converter.
