Robust control design for three-phase power inverters using Genetic Algorithm

This paper proposes a new technique to design a fixed-structure robust controller for grid connected inverter systems. The proposed technique applies the Genetic Algorithm to evaluate the optimal controller parameters. The integral squared error (ISE) of the controlled system is minimized and the robust performance (RP) of the system is satisfied. In the proposed design, the structure of controller is specified as a decentralized PI controller which is preferred for practical implementations. Simulation results show that the proposed technique is promising.
