Selective Pole Placement and Cancellation for Proportional–Resonant Control Design Used in Voltage Source Inverter

Abstract

The proportional–integral (PI) control is usually applied in synchronous reference frame to regulate the output voltage of three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). However, the PI controller is constrained by the capability of suppressing harmonic and negative sequence components; besides, its direct application in single-phase VSI is limited. While the proportional–resonant (PR) control can track ac reference and achieve harmonic suppression in stationary frame for both single-phase and three-phase VSI. Due to the high order of the resonant controller, lots of efforts are needed during the parameter design to get a satisfactory performance, such as trial-and-error. In this article, the way to approximately reduce the order of the resonant controller in the discrete time domain is presented, and then a method of selective pole placement and cancellation for the PR control design used in VSI is proposed. With the proposed method, the closed-loop pole-zero distribution of the PR control structure used in the VSI is well handled, and the parameters of the feedback controller and the reference feedforward controller are directly calculated by placing the selected poles and zeros in desired positions. The procedure of the parameter design is facilitated, and the performance of the VSI with PR control is improved.
