SummaryThis work focuses on a novel single‐phase complex band‐pass filter‐based frequency‐locked loop (1ϕ‐CBF‐FLL) control for a grid‐tied solar photovoltaic array (SPVA)‐based energy generating system. Among the novel characteristics of this 1ϕ‐CBF‐FLL control algorithm are as follows: (1) It offers a quick convergence rate; (2) it has the ability to mitigate harmonics and DC offset; and (3) it has simplicity in execution. A voltage source converter (VSC), boost converter, 1‐ϕ grid, ripple filter, and nonlinear loads are all part of the system. Feeding 1‐ϕ nonlinear loads and the grid with active power from the solar array is managed by the VSC. Furthermore, grid current quality is enhanced by the use of VSC. Between the solar array and DC‐link capacitor, there is a boost converter that uses the perturb and observe (P&O) technique to track the maximum power from the SPVA. The primary aim of the proposed system is to remove power quality (PQ) issues brought on by nonlinear and imbalanced loads and to supply sinusoidal grid currents during solar irradiance fluctuations. Additionally, a comparison between 1ϕ‐CBF‐FLL control and other control algorithms is presented. The effectiveness of this 1ϕ‐CBF‐FLL control is examined under varying nonlinear loads and in various environmental settings. Test results are used to confirm the simulated results of the proposed system. According to the IEEE‐519 standard, the recommended control may achieve a source current of total harmonic distortion (THD) of 4.02%, which is lower than 5%, a source voltage of THD of 3.21%, and a load current of THD of 24.54%.
