In this paper, the stability analysis of a gridconnected voltage source inverter with an LCL filter is presented. The Poincaré map is used to analyze the stability of the system from a geometric point of view and provides a better understanding of the system performance. In addition, a composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control is proposed in order to improve the transient and steady-state performance of the control system. Simulation and experimental analysis verify the validity of the analysis and also show the superiority of the CNF-based controller compared to the conventional proportional-resonant controller during transients and steady-state operation.Index Terms-DC/AC inverter, nonlinear control, observer, proportional-resonant (PR) controller, pulsewidth modulation (PWM), renewable energy, state feedback.

This paper presents a very fast DC-bus voltage controller for a single-phase grid-connected Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) with an LCL output filter used in renewable energy applications. In single-phase grid-connected inverters, the design of the DC-bus voltage control scheme is very challenging due to the presence of a second harmonic ripple across the DC-bus voltage. The proposed DC-bus voltage control scheme is able to address the difficulties introduced by the second harmonic ripple. The DC-bus voltage controller is based on an adaptive droop control technique, which is able to provide a very fast transient response for the closed-loop system and ensures the optimal operation of the VSI during steady-state conditions. Also, the simple structure of the controller makes it very practical for grid-connected VSIs used in renewable energy power conditioning systems. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed control approach compared to conventional DCbus voltage control schemes.

This paper presents a new active/reactive power closed-loop control system for a hybrid renewable energy generation system used for single-phase residential/commercial applications. The proposed active/reactive control method includes a hybrid estimator, which is able to quickly and accurately estimate the active/reactive power values. The proposed control system enables the hybrid renewable energy generation system to be able to perform real-time grid interconnection services such as active voltage regulation, active power control, and fault ride-through. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed closed-loop control system.
