Improving power quality of single phase utility grid connected to wind-PV system using multilayer-frequency adaptive fundamental signal extractor

A multilayer frequency adaptive fundamental signal extractor-based filter is used for the improvement of power quality of a single phase utility grid interfaced to a wind-photovoltaic (PV) system. This filter is used for the grid synchronisation, serving multiple objectives such as mitigating the lower-order harmonics, DC offset elimination, load reactive power compensation, and power flow management. As this filtering technique is based on frequency adaptation, it adapts the changes in the grid fundamental frequency. The effectiveness of this filter is studied with simulations using MATLAB Simulink under varying solar irradiance, wind speeds, and loads also validated on the test setup developed in the laboratory.
