Model‐Based Discrete Sliding Mode Control with Disturbance Observer for Three‐Phase LCL‐Filtered Grid‐Connected Inverters

Abstract

Grid‐connected voltage source inverters with LCL filters have been widely used for distributed generation systems in renewable energy systems. The presence of LCL resonance influences the overall performance and complicates the system control design, especially when the uncertainties caused by the component parameter variations and disturbances are considered. In order to improve the system performance under uncertain conditions, this paper presented a model‐based discrete sliding mode control (SMC) with disturbance observer (DOB) for three‐phase LCL‐filtered grid‐connected inverters. In this work, the inverter model is modified by using a virtual damping resistor to eliminate the resonance of the LCL filter and improve the stability, even consider the variations of the grid impedance. To save the sensors and predict the forward step of the state variables, a discrete state observer is adopted in the control. To enhance the robustness of the system, a DOB is designed in the SMC controller to estimate the disturbances so that the system uncertainties can be effectively compensated. Finally, comparative simulations and experiments are constructed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2020 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

A New Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control Method for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Servo System Based on Optimization of Fuzzy Rules

“…where c > 0, and c is the parameter to be designed. Combining ( 6), (7) with the new adaptive FERL (3), the reference current of the q-axis of PMSM speed controller could be obtained as (8).…”

“…To resolve the above problems, many control strategies have been proposed, such as robust model predictive control [3], backstepping control [4], active disturbance rejection control [5], and deep Q-learning network [6,7]. Among these strategies, sliding mode control (SMC) is the most widely used method due to the property of simple design [8]. However, excessive switching gain in traditional SMC will cause chattering.…”

ADRC‐based symmetric phase‐locked loop structure for improving low‐frequency stability of grid‐connected inverters

“…), voltage-source inverters are widely used in modern power systems [1][2][3]. However, renewable energies are usually distributed in remote areas far from load centres, and a large number of transformer equipment and long-distance transmission lines make the grid exhibit weak grid characteristics with large equivalent impedance [4][5][6][7]. Under the weak grid, the dynamic interaction between the inverter and the AC grid tends to make the system cause harmonic instability in a wide frequency range, which poses a new challenge to the safe and stable operation of the power system.…”

Predictive discrete‐time sliding mode based direct power control for grid‐connected energy conversion systems

“…It intrinsically works with a constant switching frequency, which is equal to the sampling frequency. Several control design examples for VSC have been published in [51,[53][54][55][56][57]. The DT-SMC based DPC was initially proposed in [54,58].…”
