Multivariable Grid-Forming Converters with Direct States Control

Year: 2022
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: A multi-input multi-output based grid-forming (MIMO-GFM) converter has been proposed using multivariable feedback control, which has been proven as a superior and robust system using low-order controllers. However, the original MIMO-GFM control is easily affected by the high-frequency components especially for the converter without inner cascaded voltage and current loops and when it is connected into a strong grid. This paper proposes an improved MIMO-GFM control method, where the frequency and internal voltage are chosen as state variables to be controlled directly. In this way, the impact of high-frequency components is eliminated without increasing the complexity of the control system. The$\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$synthesis is used to tune the parameters to obtain an optimized performance. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
