High-performance control of a three-phase voltage-source converter including feedforward compensation of the estimated load current

Abstract

In this paper a new control strategy for voltage-source converters (VSC) is introduced. The proposed strategy consists of a nonlinear feedback controller based on feedback linearization plus a feedforward compensation of the estimated load current. In our proposal an energy function and the direct-axis current are considered as outputs, in order to avoid the internal dynamics. In this way, a full linearization is obtained via nonlinear transformation and feedback. An estimate of the load current is feedforwarded to improve the performance of the whole system and to diminish the capacitor size. This estimation allows to obtain a more rugged and cheaper implementation. The estimate is calculated by using a nonlinear reduced-order observer. The proposal is validated through different tests. These tests include performance in presence of switching frequency, measurement filters delays, parameters uncertainties and disturbances in the input voltage.

Nonlinear Control of a Buck Converter Which Feeds a Constant Power Load

“…For the observer a settling time t seto = 1ms was chosen. According to (27)- (29), the gains to achieve this t seto are: g 1 = 7.82 10 3 and g 2 = 3.12 10 7 . The output voltage reference was chosen v * c = 100V.…”

A Novel Nonlinear and Adaptive Control of Grid Connected Inverters

“…The adaptive controller of (18), (25) and (30) with the parameter update laws of (36) and (37) ensures that all the signals in the closed loop control system remain bounded and the equilibrium manifold ðe c ; e ds ; e qs Þ ¼ ð0; 0; 0Þ is globally asymptotically stable. This means that the objectives of DC bus reference voltage tracking and unity power factor are achieved despite all parameter uncertainties and external{internal disturbances, whatever be the initial conditions.…”

“…Several control schemes based on linearization methods are introduced to achieve a faster dynamic response to load and line disturbances than conventional linear controllers. 26,27,29,30,50,51 They improve on the general control performance of PWM converters. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that linearization methods may lead to a cancellation of some useful nonlinearity of the plant, and require an exact model knowledge of the plant.…”

A global linearization approach to control and state estimation of a VSC-HVDC system

“…It is also possible to model the transmission line's dynamics as a distributed parameters system, however this latter assumption will not be followed in this manuscript. At the inverter's side it holds The state-space model of the VSC-HVDC transmission line, can be obtained using established models about the dynamics of the voltage source converter [11][12][13][14][15]:…”
