Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to adapt the conventional direct power control (DPC) methods that are applied to ac/dc converters with an inductive capacitive inductive (LCL) filter. These new solutions improved the conventional DPC with an active damping algorithm via multi‐variable constraint adjustment, which is based on an augmented look‐up table and multi‐variable comparators. The novel look‐up table proposed for the active damping algorithm of the LCL filter allows an optimal voltage vector assignment to be chosen using differences in converter‐side current and capacitor voltage. This method is also compared with the DPC method with active damping via the addition of a virtual damping resistor and a harmonic rejection loop. The steady‐state (total harmonic distortion of the grid current) and dynamic performances (response time on step changes of the set current), as well as the immunity under distorted grid voltage conditions of the proposed system, are verified through simulation results and experimental measurements.
