Abstract
This paper presents a new Sliding Mode Phase-Shift PWM (SM-PSPWM) based control strategy for a grid-connected Packed U-Cell (PUC) inverter. The proposed control strategy is based on the average model of the PUC inverter while using a multi-carriers phase-shift pulse width modulation (PS-PWM) technique. The use of the PWM strategy, based on the inverter average model, ensures high steady-state performance, low harmonic current, and enhanced thermal properties. In addition, the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is applied to generate the input signals to achieve a fast dynamical response and high robustness against disturbances. To further improve the robustness under parameter mismatch and distorted grid voltage conditions, an integral term is added to the surface function for better accuracy and stability. To validate the performance of the proposed controller (fast dynamics, global stability, low current THD, ...) shown by the simulation results, a laboratory setup is used to validate the theoretical analysis.
