    This work deals with the control law design and experimental verification of a grid-forming dispatchable distributed generation based on a back-to-back converter. The proposed system brings several improvements to the prime mover as well as to the microgrid voltage quality. The control strategy is based on an inner current and an outer voltage loop for both sides of the converter. The external loop of the back-to-back input side, which is connected to the generator, is responsible for regulating the DC voltage. On the other hand, in the output side, the voltage loop ensures a high-quality AC waveform to feed the loads. A comprehensive discussion regarding the current controller with harmonic mitigation is performed to justify the controller's choice. It is shown that a suitable current controller significantly improves the disturbance rejection. A feed-forward compensation based on the load current prediction without any additional sensor is proposed to improve the output voltage quality. Experimental results are used to validate the proposed control law and to show the improvements and benefits of the system.

    This article proposes a systematic state-space procedure to design an optimal discrete-time linear quadratic regulator applied to grid-forming converters. A comprehensive mathematical modeling of a voltage-sourced converter with an LC output filter is performed and a systematic way of including digital resonant compensators is addressed. The choice of weights is based on the minimization of selected transfer functions infinity norm, as well as on the stability margin and bandwidth. The effects of weighting on closed-loop transfer functions shape are analyzed and important points are discussed in order to establish a methodical way of choosing the weighting matrices. Experimental results are presented to validate the design and to demonstrate the system effectiveness with high loading and highly nonlinear balanced and unbalanced loads.

    Digital single voltage loop control of a VSI with LC output filter.
    (2018) Souza, Igor Dias Neto de; Almeida, Pedro Machado de; Barbosa, Pedro Gomes; Duque, Carlos Augusto; Ribeiro, Paulo Fernando
    This paper deals with the output voltage control problem of a three-phase three-wire voltage source Inverter (VSI) with LC output filter. A novel discrete-time active damping technique is proposed in order to damp the filter resonance without the need of current feedback. The method is based on an inner voltage feedback with digital lead compensator on the feedback path. A modified digital resonant controller is also proposed to reject the current harmonic disturbance drawn by nonlinear loads. The resonant controllers are connected in series and the design is based on its zeros damping. Results from a small scale experimental setup are used to validate the proposed control strategy.
