Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents the design of a direct-type adaptive control structure for current regulation of a single-phase grid-tied Voltage-Source Inverter (VSI) with an LCL filter under very weak grid condition. The initial content of this work was previously published, where the controller was presented and its discrete-time stability proof was provided. Power converters connected to weak grids bring challenges to the control system, since the grid can change abruptly from a strong to a very weak condition , degrading system power quality. This study evaluates the feasibility of a RMRAC-based robust adaptive Super-Twisting Sliding Mode controller for current control of VSI when the grid inductance changes substantially, from 0 mH (strong grid) to 10 mH (very weak grid). To show the benefits of the control strategy and its robustness, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation results are presented, comparing its performance with two other controllers..
