“…In the most common SAPF structures, which have a voltage source inverter, an important aspect for proper operation is keeping the voltage constant across the capacitor on the DC side of the inverter to cope with the power losses. In most cases, using a proportionalintegral (PI) controller is satisfactory [48,54,55,57,66,69,95,[99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108]. However, there are other types of controllers proposed in recent years in the literature, such as PI/fuzzy [49,109], fuzzy [49,87,110], PSO/PI [39], synergetic [111], bi-sliding mode PI [112], ANN [42], sliding mode [99,113,114], and capacitor energetic model-based controller [115].…”
