The objective of the paper is to design a model in MATLAB/Simulink employing dq theory to control active and reactive grid current separately and maintain total harmonic distortion (THD) less than 5% as per IEEE standard. The control mechanism includes a PI controller and. . In this paper, the controller design and MATLAB Simulation of a 3-ɸ grid-connected inverter (3-ɸ GCI) are implemented. Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) scheme with unipolar switching in dq axis theory or synchronous reference frame is used to control 3-ɸ inverter. The sine references are generated using a PLL and Harmonic oscillator.
