Abstract
This project presents analysis and improvement of power quality (voltage sag,voltage swell ) performance of grid connected inverter used in distributed
generation.The developed controller controls power supplied by the DGs at the
PCC. The controller is designed to deliver current at unity power factor at PCC. An
increase in reactive power demand and harmonics at PCC due to change of load and
grid impedance variation, would affect the system voltage at PCC.This project
proposes the structure of the designed controller consists of output power with
voltage control.
Keywords: Point of common coupling( PCC ),Distributed generation( DG ) ,Voltage Source Inverter (VSI)

1. INTRODUCTION
The aim of this work is to improve the power quality for Distributed Generation (DG). Power quality is the combination of voltage quality and current quality. The electrical power quality is more concerned issue. The main problems are transient distortions in the line voltage such as swells, sags and voltage asymmetries. Distributed Generation (DG) also called as near load site generation, decentralized generation, generates electricity from the many small energy sources.In recent years, such as photovoltaic generation systems, wind generators and micro gas turbines, etc., have increased with the deregulation of the power market. Under such circumstances the environment surrounding the electric power industry has become ever more complicated and provides high-quality power in a stable manner which becomes an important topic. Here DG is assumed to include PV panel. Advantages of this system are constant power supply, constant voltage magnitude, un-interrupted power supply.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 Existing System
The existing predictive control is based on step wave control in support of voltage source inverters for both power and voltage control, however this method is quite complicated and some digital predictive control strategies suffers from control delay and mainly Controllers uses the DC link voltage as one of the control parameters but this method is not superior for PV based DG units without DC-DC converters. The existing control techniques, mainly focus on voltage sag compensation and interruption at PCC. The existing system mainly for 3 Phase supply
2.2. Proposed System
This paper focus on control of power for maintaining rated power at PCC ( Point of common Coupling) .The principle of voltage swell and sag control during load change local or grid impedance variation and propose system for 1 Phase supply.

6) Voltage Regulator
Here we have used PIC Microcontroller (PIC 16F877A) for generating pulse.
5. WORKING PRINCIPLE
The proposed system consists of Pv panel connected to the grid-interfacing inverter as shown in block diagram. The voltage source inverter is a key element of a DG system as it interfaces the renewable energy source to the grid and delivers the generated power.Usually, photovoltaic energy sources generate power at variable low dc voltage. The filter capacitor across the input terminals of the inverter provides a constant dc link voltage.The dc-link plays an important role in transferring this variable power from Pv panel to the grid.
We are using PIC 16F877A for producing switching pulses to multilevel inverter. The microcontroller are driven via the driver circuit so as to boost the voltage triggering signal to 9V.To avoid any damage to micro controller due to direct passing of 230V supply to it we provide an isolator in the form of optocoupler in the same driver circuit.
