Review and Classification of Control Systems in Grid-tied Inverters.

High performance grid-tied inverters have stringent control requirements both under steady-state and under transient conditions. Many different control systems have been applied to grid-tied inverters. However, there are few publications reviewing the literature on these control systems and their classification, particularly with regard to recent developments in this area. In this paper, a review of solutions for the control of grid-tied inverters is carried out. These control systems are compared and classified as implementation platform, reference frame, output filter of inverter, control strategy, modulation method, and controller. The major advantages and disadvantages of these parameters are highlighted and compared. Then, the most important characteristics of these parameters have been presented in a table to show which parameters can be used in various control systems for grid-tied inverters.
