Abstract: The proposed reactive power control is intended to regulate the maximum and minimum phase voltages at the point of common coupling within the limits established in grid codes for continuous operation. This paper presents a control strategy for a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system aiming to regulate the active and reactive power injected to the electric system during asymmetrical voltage faults. Fuzzy controller is advance controller which is mostly suitable for the human decision making mechanism which also provided the operation of an electronic system with the expert decision. The active power reference is obtained from a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The proposed control strategy generates the required reference currents to be imposed by the grid-tied inverter from the desired active and reactive power and the measured supply voltage. In unbalanced voltage sags, positive and negative sequence reactive powers are combined to flexibly raise and equalize the phase voltages; maximum phase voltage is regulated below the upper limit and the minimum phase voltage just above the lower limit. The scheme is validated for a single stage PV system where the inverter currents are regulated via predictive control. By utilizing the fuzzy controller for a nonlinear system which allow the reduction for the uncertain effect in the system which control and perfectly improve the efficiency. Results showing the performance of the strategy are presented during unbalanced voltage sags and swells.
