Abstract: Power generation from Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is unpredictable due to climate or weather changes. Therefore, more control strategies are required to maintain the proper power supply in the entire microgrid. This paper presents a simulation scheme utilizing a solar system instanced by Photovoltaic (PV) panels coupled to the grid, loads, and an energy storage device. At first, modeling the PV panels cell and their operation were analyzed. The synthesis of the adaptive notch filter was designed to compensate for the input currents. The power converter’s/inverter’s efficiency and control facility allowed us to link the energy storage system with an electrical grid. Several simulations were accomplished consistently with nonlinear control techniques for the simple inverter, multi-variable filter, notch filter, and without a filter. Finally, the performances of the nonlinear controller with various filters were carried out to regulate the DC bus of the proposed grid. The advantage of these controllers is compensating the reactive power and harmonic currents to obtain a disturbance-free power network. The overall installations and simulations were established using the Matlab/Simulink software.
