A Robust Predictive Current Control for Three-Phase Grid-Connected Inverters

Abstract

This paper presents a new predictive control algorithm for grid-connected current-controlled inverters. The control combines a two-sample deadbeat control law with a Luenberger observer to estimate the future value of the grid currents. The resulting control offers robustness against the computational delay inherent in the digital implementation and considerably enhances the gain and phase margins of the previous predictive controls while maintaining the high-speed response typical of the deadbeat controllers.
