Offset-free feedback linearisation control of a three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic system
In this study, a state feedback control law is combined with a disturbance observer to enhance disturbance rejection capability of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter. The control law is based on input-output feedback linearisation technique, while the existing disturbance observer is simplified and adopted for the system under investigation. The resulting control law has a proportional-integral (PI)/almost PI-derivative-like structure, which is convenient for real-time implementation. The objective of the proposed approach is to improve the DC-bus voltage regulation, while at the same time control the power exchange between the PV system and the grid. The stability of the closed-loop system under the composite controller is guaranteed by simple design parameters. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method has significant abilities to initiate fast current control and accurate adjustment of the DC-bus voltage under model uncertainty and external disturbance

Nonlinear voltage control for three-phase dc-ac converters in hybrid systems: An application of the pi-pbc method
In this paper, a proportional-integral passivity-based controller (PI-PBC) is proposed to regulate the amplitude and frequency of the three-phase output voltage in a direct-current alternating-current (DC-AC) converter with an LC filter. This converter is used to supply energy to AC loads in hybrid renewable based systems. The proposed strategy uses the well-known proportional-integral (PI) actions and guarantees the stability of the system by means of the Lyapunov theory. The proposed controller continues to maintain the simplicity and robustness of the PI controls using the Hamiltonian representation of the system, thereby ensuring stability and producing improvements in the performance. The performance of the proposed controller was validated based on simulation and experimental results after considering parametric variations and comparing them with classical approaches.Fil: Serra, Federico Martin.

Control of LPV Modeled AC-Microgrid Based on Mixed H2/H∞ Time-Varying Linear State Feedback and Robust Predictive Algorithm
This paper presents a robust model predictive control (RMPC) method with a new mixed
H2/H∞ linear time-varying state feedback design. In addition, we propose a linear parameter-varying model
for inverters in a microgrid (MG), in which disturbances and uncertainty are considered, where the inverters
connect in parallel to renewable energy sources (RES). The proposed RMPC can use the gain-scheduled
control law and satisfy both the H2 and H∞ proficiency requirements under various conditions, such as
disturbance and load variation. A multistep control method is proposed to reduce the conservativeness caused
by the unique feedback control law, enhance the control proficiency, and strengthen the RMPC feasible
area. Furthermore, a practical and efficient RMPC is designed to reduce the online computational burden.
The presented controller can implement load sharing among distributed generators (DGs) to stabilize the
frequency and voltage of an entire smart island. The proposed strategy is implemented and studied in a MG
with two DG types and various load types. Specifically, through converters, one type of DGs is used to control
frequency and voltage, and the other type is used to control current. These two types of DGs operate in a
parallel mode. Simulation results show that the proposed RMPCs are input-to-state practically stable (ISpS).
Compared with other controllers in the literature, the proposed strategy can lead to minor total harmonic
distortion (THD), lower steady-state error, and faster response to system disturbance and load variation
Robust structural feedback linearization based on the nonlinearities rejection
International audienceIn this paper, we consider a class of affine control systems and propose a new structural feedback linearization technique. This relatively simple approach involves a generic linear-type control scheme and follows the classic failure detection methodology. The robust linearization idea proposed in this contribution makes it possible an effective rejection of nonlinearities that belong to a specific class of functions. The nonlinearities under consideration are interpreted here as specific signals that affect the initially given systems dynamics. The implementability and efficiency of the proposed robust control methodology is illustrated via the attitude control of a PVTOL
