Abstract

Abstract : This paper addresses the synchronization and operation of a 140 kVA inverter system connected to the main grid as part of a decentralized microgeneration system. The considerations for the supply of electrical energy stored in battery banks, mostly of photovoltaic origin, involve a study of the details of a rigid nonlinear system, which parallels the generation and distribution standards typical of hydroelectric and thermoelectric plants. Considering aspects related to power electronics operation, this paper presents both the modeling and the controlling aspects necessary to synchronize and ensure a stable operation of the microgeneration systems when connected to the main grid. Statistical processing was developed to guarantee synchronization between the systems without presenting electric shocks by simulating the magnetic link in asynchronous generators to meet this aim. The proposed model simulates the increase in power by a phase shift by maintaining a constant frequency based on a Chirp wave generator. The proposed process considers a generation power baseband operation. A Mamdani-type fuzzy proportional-integral controller is used to determine the power setpoint, which sets the Chirp generator phase shift setpoint, which includes a Mamdani fuzzy proportional-type controller. Both controllers are connected in a cascade. The applied correlational technique to achieve the synthesis of the sinusoid and the synchronization presented optimal performance when using 17 samples per signal period. The design of the transformer primarily, guaranteed a phase shift of −4.3018°, allowed for a THD below 2.75%.
