description This paper introduces a multifunction interactive PV system that has the ability to feed a nonlinear local load in either grid-tied topology (GTT) or off-grid topology (OGT) and transits between the two topologies are seamless. The interactive PV system utilizes a sliding Fourier transform-based phase-locked loop (SFT-PLL) as an adaptive and robust control technique for extracting the fundamental load current. Further, the SFT-PLL is also used to synchronize the inverter output voltage with the grid during the GTT. The proposed synchronization technique has a superior immunity to the weak grid problems. The SFT-PLL based control technique has a very good ability to mitigate the nonlinear load harmonics and to deliver active current to the grid with a unity power factor. Moreover, the proposed control technique is able to keep a balanced grid current when the connected load is unbalanced whether the PV source is available or not. The DC-link voltage is controlled by the controller of the voltage source inverter (VSI) during GTT. During the OGT, the AC load voltage is regulated by the VSI controller while the DC-link voltage is regulated by the boost converter controller to satisfy the power requirements of the connected load. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed control technique in feeding a balanced current with THD adheres to the IEEE-519 standard at different operating conditions. The performance of the proposed method is compared with recently published adaptive filtering techniques to show its effectiveness especially when the load current has a DC-offset.
