These are like Solar systems, Wind power generation depending 293
on the time. This power we can use it as Isolated system or grid Connected Mode, the different control techniques are proposed for the grid which are presented in [1]. The main problem raised with the synchronization is the system reliable and system stable. To know the stability of the system is main task to achieve continuous and uninterrupted operation. Controllers have the much impact on stability of the system i.e. without changing the system parameters changing the parameters of controller to achieve the stable operating point. Stability is determined by conventional graphical methods like Bode plots, Pole Zero placement, Root Locus and Nyquist Criterion. The impedance based stability criterion introduced by the Middlebrook and which can be improved by Feng [2], the connection between stability of cascaded system and transfer function is presented in [3]. The system stability is analyzed in d-channel small-signal modelling is applied to inverter connected to grid by Generalized Nyquist Stability Criterion through study the interactions between power electronic converters and filters [4]. The stability of grid tied inverter coupled with LCL-filter with PI controller is assessed both inverter and grid side currents [5,6].
