True smart grid with voltage and current controller

Abstract

Connecting distributed energy sources to low-voltage power grids causes problems of voltage variability and asymmetry, especially in the case of long distances from the power transformer.

In extreme cases, it is necessary to reduce the power generated by the source when giving energy to the grid.

The solution to this problem is the use of an electronic power regulator consisting of two inverters, one of which is used to add, with the help of an add transformer, voltage of regulated small amplitude.

The second inverter is used to supply active energy to the control system and to correct reactive power consumption in the assumed range.
