Abstract :
Due to raising demands in electric power it becomes more important to use the available energy sources efficiently and along with them the distributed generation comes into picture which means collection of energy from many small sources say RES. For distribute generation (DG) systems a challenging issue is to smartly integrate renewable-energy sources into the grid as it leads to power quality problems under fault conditions. Another approach for meeting the power demand is to implement TEP. This work proposes an method which uses a control algorithm for inverters for providing a flexible voltage control using reference current generation under grid faults. The controlled inverter designed is used for inversion processes at the receiving end in a HVDC line. A system with three sources is considered, their performances if the three lines connecting three sources are AC lines and if one line is replaced with a DC line is studied.
