Analysis of Output Voltage Harmonics of Voltage Source Inverter used PI and PID Controllers Optimized with ITAE Performance Criteria

In this article, PI and PID controllers are designed using ITAE (Integral Time Absolute Error) Performance Criteria in order to obtain the controller parameters assuring improved response at selected load. The voltage source inverter (VSI) including PI and PID controllers whose parameters are estimated by minimizing errors using ITAE performance criteria are modeled in MATLAB environment. The stability analysis of the control system will be presented. VSI controlled with the PI-ITAE and the PID-ITAE controller are simulated for various loads and the results are analyzed using FFT analysis for observing and comparing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage. The quality of the sinusoidal waveform is more important than the quantity and in order to achieve that, we need to reduce the harmonic content in the output.
