Abstract :
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are expected to provide ancillary functions including reactive power generation and harmonics compensation. Meanwhile, multilevel inverters and two level converters with Optimal Pulse Width Modulation (OPWM) will be commonly used for DERs at high power levels. The challenge is to realize harmonic compensation with limited switching angles. This work presents a four equations based method to realize Selected Harmonics Compensation (SHC) and power generation with DERs. Since the power converter is requested to realize both harmonics filtering and power generation; limitations on harmonics compensation at the given power are discussed. Power Hardware-in-the-loop based verifications are shown at the end of the paper.
