Optimized Direct Power Control Strategy using Output Regulation Subspaces and Pulse Width Modulation

In this paper, a direct power control (DPC) using output regulation subspaces (ORS) for a three-phase two-level converter is presented. An optimal controller design and the use of optimized modulation techniques permit to improve the system performance minimizing the necessary grid-connection inductance. ORS plus proportional controllers are proposed for the generation of the reference vector to decrease active and reactive power errors and to achieve unity power factor. The generation of the reference vector is carried out thanks to simple pulse width modulation techniques. The computational cost of the proposed control is really low and all the calculations can be done online allowing its implementation in low cost microprocessors. Simulation and experimental results are shown in order to illustrate the good performance of the proposed control strategy
