Control of PWM rectifier under grid voltage dips

This paper investigates control structure for grid connected three-phase two-level Voltage Source Converter (VSC) under distorted grid voltage conditions. Grid voltage is distorted by balanced and unbalanced voltage dips and higher harmonics. To address the problem, the control structure of converter is presented. The control system is a modification of Voltage Oriented Control (VOC) based on Dual Vector Current Controllers (DVCC). Grid synchronization under distorted voltage is achieved by employing Phase Locked Loop (PLL). Simulation and experimental results, which illustrate properties of proposed system, are presented.
