This work deals with a single-stage three-phase grid-connected solar photovoltaic distribution static compensator (SPV-DSTATCOM) under partial shading condition (PSC). During PSC, the SPV-DSTATCOM is connected to the distribution network to solve issues like active current sharing, reactive power control, and harmonic elimination. The conventional Proportional Resonant (PR) controller for SPV-DSTATCOM behaves as a notch filter at resonance frequency with high gain of magnitude and has less DC offset rejection capability. Here, an improved PR based on second-order generalized integrator (IPR-SOGI) control architecture with unity gain at the fundamental frequency and more DC offset rejection capability is presented to address the drawback of the conventional PR controller. The performance of the proposed controller is examined under different loading conditions in steady-state and dynamic conditions. Finally, a comparison between the proposed controller with the conventional PR controller and adaptive PR controller are provided with the experimental validation.
