Proposed in this article is bidirectional real and reactive power control of a three-phase grid-connected inverter under unbalanced grid conditions using a proportional-resonance controller. Different unbalanced grid conditions have been studied, such as unbalanced three-phase load and unbalanced grid impedance. These unbalanced scenarios generate unbalanced grid currents and unbalanced point-of-common-coupling (PCC) voltages, causing large oscillations in both real and reactive power transferred to the grid. The purposes of the suggested technique are to balance the grid currents and point-of-common-coupling voltages as well as control the power injected into the grid. As a result, balanced PCC voltages are guaranteed, the oscillation in real and reactive power is reduced, and power control is achieved. The proposed method’s performance has been verified in MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation software, and different experimental results have been obtained using a real-time interface platform, dSPACE DS1202.

Field-oriented control (FOC) has achieved great success in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control. For the PMSM drive, FOC allows the motor torque and flux to be controlled separately, which means the torque and flux are decoupled from each other. Since the torque control is achieved by the speed controller, it can be considered that the speed and the flux of the PMSM are also decoupled from each other and can be controlled separately. In this paper, we propose a PMSM vector control using decoupled speed and flux controllers based on the proportional-resonant (PR) control method. A flux controller is proposed to control the flux of the PMSM and generate the d-axis reference current, whereas the speed regulator is used to generate the torque as well as the q-axis reference current. The PR controller is proposed to control the dq-axis currents and generate the reference voltages; its design is included.Therefore, decoupled speed and flux controllers are controlled separately using the PR controller. The Matlab/Simulink environment is utilized for the simulation, while the dSPACE DS1104 is used for the experimental work. The proposed control method is simple; there are no flux or torque estimators required, so it can avoid the complexity of estimators in the control scheme. The motor is tested under different scenarios, including flux change, speed change, and load torque change. The simulation and hardware results show the effectiveness of the proposed control method in controlling the the speed and the flux of PMSM with fast motor response and good dynamic performance in the different scenarios.
