Final Report:

Conclusions:

• The proposed method to optimize the inductor and capacitor values generates the best compromise between cost and performance. Noise can be reduced by proper placement of the filter components and by using well-designed inductors and capacitors.

• PQ control can be identified as a main component of a grid-friendly inverter. Both PI and PR methods have their pros and cons and hence any method can be used considering the requirements and limitations. Power factor can be maintained at unity by controlling active power at rated value and reactive power at zero.

• The Islanding detection technique suggested provides very fast and reliable response during an islanding condition. This can be further improved by choosing an accurate frequency detection method.
