The insertion of distributed generation systems has growth in the last years. The use of switching converters can produce voltage and current harmonics in the point of common coupling (PCC). In this context, this work presents the use of the passivity-based control in a single-phase inverter connected to the grid. The performance of this technique is compared with the conventional proportional integral controllers and with the multi-resonant controller when there is a high distortion in the PCC voltage. Simulation results show that the passivity-based control is a good technique in this situation, due to its high capability to reject disturbances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
