During voltage sags, continuous power delivery from distributed generation systems to the grid is desirable
for the purpose of grid support. Ancillary services for distributed generation (DG) systems become a
challenging issue to integrate renewable-energy sources into the grid. Voltage control is one of these ancillary
services which can ride through and support the voltage under grid faults. In order to facilitate the control of
distributed generation systems adapted to the expected change of grid requirements, flexible voltage support
control scheme is proposed for inverter based distributed generation, aiming at regulating voltage limits and
reactive power injection to remain connected and supports the grid under fault. In three-phase balanced
voltage sags, the inverter should inject reactive power in order to raise the voltage in all phases. In one- or
two-phase faults, the main concern of the DG inverter is to equalize voltages by reducing the negative
symmetric sequence and clear the phase jump. Thus, over and under voltage can be avoided, and the
proposed control scheme prevents disconnection while achieving the desired voltage support service which
can be analyzed and simulated by using Matlab/Simulink environment. The main contribution of this work is
the introduction of a control algorithm for reference current generation that provides flexible voltage support
under grid faults.

I. INTRODUCTION
The recent trends in small scale power
generation using the with the increased concerns
on environment and cost of energy, the power
industry is experiencing fundamental changes with
more renewable energy sources (RESs) or micro
sources such as photovoltaic cells, small wind
turbines, and micro turbines being integrated into
the power grid in the form of distributed generation
(DG). These RES-based DG systems are normally
interfaced to the grid through power electronics
and energy storage systems[1] One of the most
critical sections of the control system for a
distributed generation (DG) unit’s interconnection
to the utility grid lies within the grid-connected
converter’s control and protection system;
specifically the islanding detection algorithms.
Through this controller subsection, the system is
able to determine whether or not it is safe to remain
connected to the grid. These islanding detection
algorithms, which are integrated into the control
system, are mainly present to prevent the
undesirable feeding of loads during fault
conditions and disconnections from the grid,
whether or not the disconnection as intentional[2]
This is required by standards since the creation of
such “power islands” is forbidden. Thus, in effect,
