Abstract: In present day scenario, the focus is reallocating towards integration of small and medium scale power plants based on renewable energy sources into the power distribution system. Solar is the fastest growing form of renewable energy and a single phase voltage source inverter is used to interface photovoltaic based plants with the distribution system. The grid integrated inverter has stringent control requirements. A current controller is employed to mitigate the harmonics in the current injected into the grid and regulate the power exchange between the plant and the grid. This paper presents a review of the current control strategies implemented for a single phase grid tied photovoltaic inverter. A comparative performance evaluation of the current control techniques is also presented through simulation and experimental results.
