Abstract

This paper presents the mathematical model and control of a voltage source inverter (VSI) connected to an alternating current (AC) microgrid. The VSI considered in this paper is six switches three-phase Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) inverter, whose output active and reactive power is controlled in the d q reference frame. The control strategy presented here is state feedback control with disturbance cancellation. This disturbance signal is either provided by a voltage sensor or estimated using a presented extended high gain observer (EHGO). The control strategy without EHGO requires a current sensor and a voltage sensor, and the control strategy with EHGO requires only a current sensor. The EHGO is saving the requirement of a voltage sensor. The stability analysis of the presented control strategy is showing that the error is ultimately bounded in the presence of disturbance, formed due to Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) inverters. The microgrid is simulated using the SimPowerSystems Toolbox of MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results are also showing the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy, that the output active and reactive power control is achieved with ultimately bounded errors. The comparison of the proposed control with the PI-based control scheme is also presented, and it is shown that better reference tracking with the desired settling time of “0.04 s” is achieved with the proposed control.
