ITEES-20-1932: Stability Assessment and Performance Analysis of New Controller for Power Quality Conditioning in Microgrids

Dear Researchers
Although the study has been done, there are still some points that should be clarified and changed.
(Review Comments to Authors)
1. The idea of the work and results are good.
2. The abbreviated (DG) must be defined in the manuscript.
3. You mentioned that (LIse is calculated as 1.625*10-3H and is approximated as 1mH). How did you calculate the Llse?
4. The value of Lse and Cse are calculated and selected as 0.1mH and 1mF? According to what?
5. You mentioned that (…this filter is tuned at half of fs). What dose fs represent? Is it system frequency?
6. You write that (The size of the shunt filter capacitor Csh is calculated as 1mF). On what basis did you calculate and select 1mF.
7. Your equations need references.
8. You mentioned that (This controller works by using three gains k1, k2 and k3, whose tuned values are shown in Table 6.). Values of these gains are shown in Table 4 not in Table 6.
9. On what basses did you calculate and select values of gains k1, k2 and k3.
10. How can I check if the derivative action offers less rise time, minimum overshoot, etc.?
11. The text (Table 6. Proposed Control Performance Comparison…) should be corrected to (Table 7) as mentioned in the page 25.

The above notes raise the level form and content of your paper to be stronger. Finally I hope kindly correct it.
Regards

(Review Comments to Authors)
1. There is no difference between equations (1) and (2) in calculating the series and shunt elements of your system? How can you explain that?
2. I can not find equations (1 and 2) in references [71, 72, and 76] as you mentioned and referred. Need to check.
3. Still some equations need more explanations and references.
