In this context, multilevel inverters (MLI) are getting increasing popularity rather than conventional two-level inverters as the power electronic interface due to many merits associated with MLIs. This work designs and implements the control system of the 1 kW grid integrated energy storage with a three-phase three-level multilevel inverter for controllable power injection using current mode control. The proposed system consists of a three-phase three-level MLI connected to a battery pack through a DC-DC converter and injects controllable active and reactive power to the grid. All control functions wiil be implemented in a micro-controller incorporating suitable sensors. A prototype power flow controller will be developed in the laboratory incorporating the MLI, microcontroller and suitable sensors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Words:<\/strong> Multilevel inverter, active-reactive power control, grid synchronization<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project Contacts:<\/strong> Dr. P.
