Abstract:
In this paper, a two-degrees-of-freedom control structure is proposed to minimize both total harmonic distortion and tracking error of inverter output voltage, adopting a resonant tracking controller and a modified uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE). Owing to the two-degrees-of-freedom feature of the proposed control strategy, tracking and disturbance rejection tasks are decoupled and treated almost independently. A time-delay action is introduced into a commonly adopted low-pass UDE filter to minimize the output impedance magnitude around the odd harmonics, which is typical to nonlinear loads. Once the disturbance is properly rejected, a tracking resonant controller is designed to force the output of the nominal system to follow a sinusoidal reference with near-zero amplitude and phase error. The performance of the proposed control structure is fully verified by the experimental results.
