Repetitive Predictive Control for Current Control of Grid-Connected Inverter Under Distorted Voltage Conditions

A repetitive predictive control for grid-connected inverter current control scheme is presented in this paper under voltage harmonic distortion in the stationary reference frame. Predictive control is an approach that uses a receding horizon to achieve the optimal track for the reference. In this approach, the repetitive controller behavior is added to the predictive control to increase its performance under distorted voltage conditions. In addition, to apply the controller in the generation system, controller is designed from the perspectives of the power system. The controller is designed considering the state-space model in the stationary reference frame. The controller performance was verified using a laboratory experimental setup under distorted grid voltage condition. Experimental results confirm that the proposed controller can effectively suppress harmonics under both normal operation and distorted grid voltage conditions, and also satisfy the requirements stipulated in IEEE Std. 1547.2-2008.
