Abstract
- • Transient response improvement of grid-connected converter is discussed. • Universal utility range (frequencies and magnitudes) are considered. • *Corresponding plug-in disturbance observer design is proposed. • Converter dynamics is enhanced without existing controller redesign. It is well-known that dynamics of single-phase grid-connected power converters employing PI or type-II DC link voltage controllers is limited by the maximum tolerable value of utility-side current total harmonic distortion (THD). Moreover, universal DC link voltage controller must be capable of supporting both 50 Hz and 60 Hz utilities and universal range of magnitudes (85V rms –265V rms). As a result, DC link crossover frequency value (and hence corresponding settling time) may vary significantly in case grid voltage magnitude variations are not compensated in the controller. In order to cope with the above-mentioned deficiencies, the paper suggests a design methodology for a novel dual-frequency-tuned utility magnitude insensitive plug-in disturbance observer (DOB), supporting universal utility frequencies and magnitudes so that the transient response of a grid-connected converter is improved without altering the existing PI or type-II DC link voltage controller coefficients. These characteristics are attained by robust modification of DC link voltage loop plant to possess notch-like properties around two frequencies of interest and treating the grid voltage magnitude value as non-measurable uncertainty translated into input disturbance and subsequently cancelled. Analytical design guidelines for obtaining PI + DOB controller coefficients are provided for desired values of utility-side current THD and DC link voltage loop phase margin (PM). Simulations and experimental results are provided to validate the feasibility of proposed design methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
