Simple unipolar maximum switching frequency limited hysteresis current control for grid‐connected inverter

Abstract

This study proposes a simple unipolar maximum switching frequency limited hysteresis current control (UMSFL-HCC) strategy without band suitable for the single-phase grid-connected inverter. At the starting moment of each sampling cycle, the actual grid-connected current is sampled and compared with the sine reference one without band offset and the control signals of various power switches are obtained directly according to the comparison results. The distribution law of the switching period corresponding to the phase angle of the current and other system parameters within one line cycle is derived. The design rule of the filter inductor considering the various requirements is presented as well. By selecting proper sampling period and filter value, the UMSFL-HCC achieves excellent control performance. At the same time, the ripple of the switching frequency is limited within a controllable range. The proposed strategy is very compact and the switching loss is lower. The simulation and experimental results verify its accuracy and feasibility.

Improved control strategy for the three‐phase grid‐connected inverter

“…The output of solar cells and fuel cells is a dc voltage, and the output of wind turbines is ac voltage with variable frequency, but the grid is ac voltage with a constant frequency. Therefore the grid-connected inverters play an important part in the distributed generation systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Comparative Analysis of Current Control Techniques to Support Virtual Inertia Applications

“…The hysteresis current control technique is a simple and effective technique to achieve fast dynamics within the current control loop [27]. The inherent current limiting capability, robustness, and model-free implementation are some of the main benefits of the hysteresis control approach [28]. In this technique, a "hysteresis band" is defined around the reference current that the controller needs to track.…”

Simple digital current control strategy for single‐phase grid‐connected converters

“…Regulating the converter power exchange with the grid can be readily realised by controlling the phase and amplitude of the converter current. Assuming that v s = V S sin(ωt) and i = I sin (ωt − θ i ) are the grid voltage and converter current, respectively, the active and reactive powers can be defined as (9). Substituting the active and reactive powers with the corresponding reference values and performing some manipulations, gives the reference current as (10), in which ωt and V S are provided by a single-phase phase-locked loop (PLL).…”
