Abstract: Currently, photovoltaic inverters are used in electricity production. They must therefore meet the requirements and needs of the
electricity grid. They are not only used to provide active and reactive power, but also contribute to other tasks such as power
quality, frequency and voltage regulation. This paper presents a photovoltaic system connected to the grid via an inverter
combined with a parallel active filter. The model aims to provide active power to the grid as well as reactive power with a higher
power quality. Thus, this model can compensate for harmonics caused by the grid or non-linear loads. The command of this
model requires a robust and reliable control system to perform the three above-mentioned tasks (quality, frequency and voltage
regulation). Consequently, the instantaneous power method was chosen for this model. This system was simulated in the
Matlab/Simulink program to validate its function.
