This article presents a modified synchronous vector control design of a five-level cascaded H-Bridge inverter for integration of distributed generation (DG) resources to the power grid. The presented control strategy explores the limitations in the conventional synchronous vector control algorithm of grid-connected converter (GCC). The dynamic reference point (DRP) approach is considered to improve the performance of GCC. Compared with conventional control algorithm, DRP based control algorithm exhibits several specific advantages, such as increased reliability of the grid-interfaced converter, more active and reactive power injection capacity of the converter, and reduced cost of the converter. The objectives of control technique of the DG interface system are also employed to enhance the standard of the power grid. The optimized space vector pulse-width modulation (OSVPWM) control technique is used for grid integration. The simulation and experimental results are presented in order to validate the proposed functionalities of the grid-interfaced DG system. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is validated with better utilization of DG system, faster dynamics with reduced total harmonic distortion, better power factor, compensated load reactive power, and fault withstanding capability.
