A Robust Power Regulation Controller to Enhance Dynamic Performance of Voltage Source Converters

摘要

This paper presents a novel power regulation controller for grid-connected voltage source converter (VSC). The proposed controller is usually applied to achieve smooth active and reactive power dynamics against the variation of parameters. The dynamic performance of grid-connected VSC is sensitive to parameter variation, threatening the safe operation especially when the relative stability is low. Moreover, there is no possibility to modify the dynamic response without the loss of power regulation precision or output voltage and frequency accuracy. In this paper, an improvement in the dynamic response is achieved by introducing feedforward branches into the VSC power regulation controller. Owing to the model reduction mechanism, the VSC provides smooth dynamic response and robustness against the variation of parameters. Simulation and experiment results are presented to prove the effectiveness of this approach, which shows excellent performance as opposed to the conventional controller paradigm.
