DQ Current Control of Voltage Source Converters With a Decoupling Method Based on Preprocessed Reference Current Feed-forward.

Axes cross-coupling in dq-frame will deteriorate the current control performance, especially for applications with low switching/sampling frequency. Decoupling methods based on inductor current state feedback and complex vector proportional-integrator controllers are usually performed to solve this problem. In this paper, an alternative decoupling method based on preprocessed reference current feed-forward is proposed, which can provide excellent decoupling performance even with considerable control delay. The current control of grid-connected voltage source converters is analyzed with complex-coefficient transfer functions. It is revealed that the decoupling performance of current control schemes is closely related to the symmetry of current closed-loop transfer function bode diagrams. The current closed-loop transfer function should show a standard symmetrical bode diagram with respect to 0 Hz, if axes cross-coupling is well decoupled. A quantitative index named cross-coupling function is then proposed to analyze and comprehensively compare the decoupling performance of the proposed method and existing ones in terms of the influence of the control delay, inductance estimation error, grid frequency deviation, and voltage disturbance. Experimental tests are implemented to validate the performance of the proposed method and comparison results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
