The analytical method derived in this article shows the variation of the dc-link voltage ripple with the change of the power factor and the modulation index. This analysis can be applied to determine the maximum possible ripple voltage for a given capacitor or the minimum capacitance needed to keep the voltage ripple under a limit. Then, current ripple analysis is used to determine the root-mean-square capacitor ripple current taking account of the thermal duty cycles of the application. Finally, capacitor life estimation analysis is used using the operating condition, thermal duty cycle, and ripple current to determine the capacitor end life for a given application. The research presents a sequential process to select a dc-link capacitor accounting for the electrical and thermal requirement of the system. The analysis is verified by simulation and experimental results, where the effect of components’ parasitic on the voltage and current ripple is presented.}, number={4}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS}, author={Safayet, Ali and Islam, Mohammad and Sebastian, Tomy}, year={2022}, pages={4248–4260} }

The approach addresses the voltage rise and reverse power flow issue when residential renewable energy sources such as rooftop solar panels produce more energy than the local load demand. The overvoltage issues are controlled by active management of reactive power flow.

Several synchronization algorithms have been proposed to improve the phase tracking of the grid voltage. However, when the grid is weak or distorted, the synchronization process may suffer from poor frequency regulation. Therefore, Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform Phase-locked-loop (SDFT-PLL) algorithm is proposed to extract an accurate angle of the fundamental voltage while rejecting the harmonics in a distorted or weak grid. The SDFT-PLL algorithm and simulation results to validate this method are presented in this paper.}, booktitle={2015 ieee energy conversion congress and exposition (ecce)}, author={Alkuhayli, A. and Safayet, A. and Husain, I.}, year={2015}, pages={1143–1148} }

In this paper, an efficient method to estimate grid harmonics is proposed to be used by single-phase RESs. The proposed method provides accurate estimation for the harmonics while it has lower computation complexity than the other existing methods. To make the harmonic estimation process fast and accurate, the harmonics in the sampled grid voltage is eliminated before passing it to the phase-locked-loop block used for estimating the grid phase. Another application of the proposed method is to transform single-phase voltage or current from the stationary reference frame into the dq rotating reference frame. In this application, the use of the proposed method eliminates the need of generating fictitious voltage or current waveforms orthogonal to the measured quantities. The elimination of need to generate fictitious waveforms speeds up the transformation transients and reduces the operations to less than half of those required by traditional methods. Simulation and experimental results verified that the algorithm achieves fast and accurate harmonic estimation of highly distorted grid voltage.}, number={1}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS}, author={Elrayyah, Ali and Safayet, Ali and Sozer, Yilmaz and Husain, Iqbal and Elbuluk, Malik}, year={2014}, pages={620–630} }

However, the power grid suffers from these types of imperfections. For large distributed systems such as solar, onshore and offshore wind or wave energy, there is a need for synchronization with the frequency and phase angle of the three-phase grid contaminated with harmonics. For three-phase systems, the other imperfection of the grid that needs to be eliminated before feeding the grid voltage to PLL is the voltage unbalance. The proposed algorithm demonstrates a method to eliminate both the three-phase grid voltage harmonics and unbalance effects to improve the steady state performance of grid synchronization with high bandwidth PLL.}, booktitle={2013 ieee energy conversion congress and exposition (ecce)}, author={Safayet, A. and Husain, I. and Elrayyah, A. and Sozer, Y.}, year={2013}, pages={3299–3304} }

An elegant approach to achieve voltage regulation in utility grid is proposed through appropriate control of the renewable energy systems. PQ inverter capable of producing the reactive power is used to either achieve local voltage regulation or produce the reactive power commanded from the outer voltage regulator in the upper hierarchy of the grid management system. The proposed PQ scheduler and PQ inverters will work harmoniously in the local substation with minimum communication interface. The proposed control techniques achieve efficient utilization of the PQ inverters with maximum efficiency.
