Model-Based Current Control for Single-Phase Grid-Tied Quasi-Z-Source Inverters With Virtual Time Constant
In this paper, a model-based current control (MBCC) approach with a compensating of dc-side inductor current ripple, active damping, and virtual time constant is proposed for single-phase grid-tied quasi-Z-source inverters with an LCL filter. The idea behind the ripple compensation Read More …
Control strategy of DFIG in hybrid micro-grid using sliding mode frequency controller and observer
A doubly fed-induction generator (DFIG) has a significant advantage of fast dynamic frequency regulation. However, conventional virtual inertia control (VIC) design only takes frequency into account and may face secondary frequency drop during rotor speed restoration. To solve these problems, Read More …
