Fractional-Order LC Three-Phase Inverter Using Fractional-Order Virtual Synchronous Generator Control and Adaptive Rotational Inertia Optimization

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The application of fractional calculus in power electronics modeling provides an innovative method for improving inverter performance. This paper presents a three-phase inverter topology with fractional-order LC filter characteristics, analyzes its frequency response, and develops mathematical models in both stationary and rotating reference frames. Based on these models, a dual closed-loop decoupling control strategy for voltage and current is designed to enhance system stability and dynamic performance. In the power control loop, fractional-order virtual synchronous generator control (FOVSG) is employed. Observations show that increasing the fractional-order of the rotor leads to a higher transient frequency variation rate. To address this, an adaptive rotational inertia control scheme is integrated into the FOVSG structure (ADJ-FOVSG), enabling real-time adjustment of inertia to suppress transient frequency fluctuations. Experimental results demonstrate that when the reference active power changes, ADJ-FOVSG effectively suppresses power overshoot. Compared to traditional VSG, ADJ-FOVSG reduces the power regulation time by approximately 34.5% and decreases the peak frequency deviation by approximately 37.2%. Compared to the adaptive rotational inertia control in traditional VSG, ADJ-FOVSG improves regulation time by about 24% and reduces peak frequency deviation by roughly 24.4%.
