Distorted voltage supplied as unbalanced and/or non-constant frequency can be found in weak grids, such as microgrids, or systems working in islanding mode. These kinds of systems are more sensitive under load changes. Particularly, an unbalanced voltage supply may be produced for large, single-phase loads. On the other hand, the connection/disconnection of high current loads may lead to important frequency variation, especially in weak grids where the short circuit current capacity is reduced. These conditions make the control of the power converter a more difficult task, because of the variations in the frequency and unbalancing. To address these issues, this paper proposes a resonant control algorithm to deal with variations in the voltage amplitude as well as grid frequency when a distorted power supply is considered. The frequency variation is an important drawback for resonant control because the resonance must be tuned at the grid frequency. This issue is overcome by using a variable sampling frequency in order to avoid re-tuning the controller parameters. On the other hand, under unbalanced conditions, the proposed method relaxes the phase with lower voltage amplitude by taking more power from the other phases in order to help the stability of the grid supply. To corroborate the mathematical analysis and the proposed control, a stability study is performed, including experimental and simulated results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The elimination of periodic torque disturbance in permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drives is a multifrequency control task, and adding resonant parts to the controller has an impact on the robustness of the system. This article aims to address the torque-ripple reduction in PMSM drives for smooth speed control, where an extended harmonic state observer (EHSO) is designed for estimation and attenuation of the selective periodic disturbance. The defects of applying the conventional bandwidth-parameterization method to the harmonic disturbance observer are explored. To improve the disturbance-rejection capability and the relative stability, a pole-placement strategy is proposed and analyzed through sensitivity function, which can preserve the comparable dynamic performance as the conventional extended state observer at the low-frequency range. The proposed EHSO also features easy parameter tuning and a modular structure for multiple harmonic disturbance rejection. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated on a laboratory PMSM platform.

This paper addresses the periodic position tracking and load force disturbance rejection in linear permanent magnet synchronous motors (LPMSM). Periodic position tracking is a challenge for LPMSMs, as there are electromagnetic forces that are not uniform along the actuator stroke due to end effects, which can lead to position variations. The proposed control structure combines a proportional–integral (PI) controller in the direct-axis control loop and a modified PI plus a multiple resonant controller (PI-RES) in the quadrature-axis control loop to ensure periodic reference tracking and disturbance rejection. The controller design is carried out by solving a convex optimization problem under linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints, which guarantee closed-loop stability and transient performance. Simulations and experimental results are performed using a dual quasi-Halbach permanent magnet array linear tubular actuator with a coreless moving armature. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by applying position reference signals with different frequencies and harmonic compositions in conjunction with two types of load force disturbances. Experiments show the proposed controller results in precise reference tracking with negligible steady-state error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

UNINTERRUPTIBLE power supply , *ELECTRONIC equipment , *CASCADE control - Abstract
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an electronic power device that delivers voltage to critical loads and whose application must satisfy standardized performance requirements. Usual control techniques demand the UPS model. In this article, we propose a simple, model-free procedure based on the generalized forced oscillation method to design the control system of a UPS output stage. The procedure involves the design of an inner current loop with a proportional gain and a proportional-multiresonant controller in the output voltage loop. We also compare the closed-loop results obtained in a single-phase 3.5 kVA UPS with the IEC 62040-3 performance criteria and show that the results are equivalent to model-based approaches.

This paper investigates an adaptive combined control strategy for single-phase cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter under distorted load conditions. The nonlinear loads cause harmonic distortion and affect the quality of output voltage. An adaptive voltage control strategy is suggested to compensate for the harmonic distortion caused by the nonlinear loads. The suggested control strategy enables the output voltage to track the reference according to the load-side disturbances. The DC links of the multilevel converter generate low-frequency ripples which also cause output voltage distortion under nonlinear load conditions. To compensate this, an adaptive DC link ripple control strategy is also suggested. Detailed analysis has been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the suggested system and is compared to the conventional control strategies. Fast dynamic response and lower distortion in output voltage are obtained with the suggested strategy compared to the conventional control strategies. Experimental and simulation results are provided to validate the suggested control scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AC current regulators are susceptible to controller windup, i.e., the condition in which the controller dynamic states ramp the controller output up to very large values when the commanded reference cannot be achieved because of inverter saturation. Recovering from saturation can take considerable time once the linear mode has been restored, which degrades the current regulator's transient performance and can also impact on its stability. This paper proposes an improved formulation using the concept of signal conditioning, where windup is avoided by feeding the controller states entirely from the constrained inverter pulsewidth modulation command. Unlike previous approaches, this technique has the benefit of a simplified realization, since the controller transfer functions do not require algebraic reformulation. This makes it particularly suitable for multiple cascaded resonators used in harmonic compensation systems. The technique has been validated using simulation and experimental investigations for a grid-connected inverter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resonant controller (RSC) is one of the most popular approaches for ac current/voltage control due to the high performance of zero steady-state tracking error. However, it suffers from heavy computational burden issue when multiple RSCs are demanded to control multiple harmonics. To alleviate this issue, a down-sampled multirate RSCs (MRRSCs) scheme is proposed for controlling power inverters, e.g., grid-connected inverters and active power filters. The proposed control scheme is composed of an inner control loop with a fast sampling rate, which is identical to the switching frequency, and an array of paralleled MRRSCs-based external control loop with a reduced sampling rate. With the reduced sample rate, the MRRSCs can be executed alternatively in the dq-frame, such that the computational burden can be significantly reduced per cycle. Moreover, to reinforce the wide frequency adaptability of the MRRSC, its central resonant frequency is online updated according to the output of the phase-locked loop. In the paper, the equivalent single-rate closed-loop model of the overall system is developed, based on which the controller parameters are designed employing the Nyquist diagram and root locus. Finally, experiments are performed on a grid-connected inverter to validate the superiority of the proposed scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To improve power density and motor performance, new bearingless motor topologies combine torque and magnetic suspension coils into a single winding. Of these topologies, the parallel dual-purpose no-voltage winding is advantageous from the bearingless drive perspective because it requires the least amount of hardware. However, this topology can result in undesirable current controller performance from cross-coupling effects between the suspension and torque operation. This paper investigates these cross-coupling effects using rotating reference frame theory to derive relevant system disturbance transfer functions. The nature of this coupling is explained in relation to the machine and control parameters (inductances, resistances, controller gains) to provide insights for bearingless machine and control designers. The paper proposes and simulates different compensation techniques to minimize or eliminate the cross-coupling. It is shown that with careful machine design or with proper feedback control compensation, the motor controller can be implemented as a conventional motor drive, without knowledge of the magnetic suspension system. Finally, experimental validation is provided via two prototype machines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a two-degrees-of-freedom control structure is proposed to minimize both total harmonic distortion and tracking error of inverter output voltage, adopting a resonant tracking controller and a modified uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE). Owing to the two-degrees-of-freedom feature of the proposed control strategy, tracking and disturbance rejection tasks are decoupled and treated almost independently. A time-delay action is introduced into a commonly adopted low-pass UDE filter to minimize the output impedance magnitude around the odd harmonics, which is typical to nonlinear loads. Once the disturbance is properly rejected, a tracking resonant controller is designed to force the output of the nominal system to follow a sinusoidal reference with near-zero amplitude and phase error. The performance of the proposed control structure is fully verified by the experimental results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to prevent the power switching devices (e.g., an insulated-gate bipolar transistor, IGBT) from shoot-through in voltage-source converters during a switching period, the dead time is added either in the hardware driver circuits of the IGBTs or implemented in software in pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes. Both solutions will contribute to a degradation of the injected current quality. As a consequence, the harmonics induced by the dead time (referred to as “dead-time harmonics” hereafter) have to be compensated in order to achieve a satisfactory current quality, as required by standards. In this paper, the emission mechanism of dead-time harmonics in single-phase PWM inverters is, thus, presented considering the modulation schemes in detail. More importantly, a repetitive controller has been adopted to eliminate the dead-time effect in single-phase grid-connected PWM converters. The repetitive controller has been plugged into a proportional-resonant-based fundamental-frequency current controller so as to mitigate the dead-time harmonics and also to maintain the control of the fundamental-frequency grid current in terms of dynamics. Simulations and experiments are provided, which confirm that the repetitive controller can effectively compensate the dead-time harmonics and other low-order distortions, and also, it is a simple method without hardware modifications.

This paper proposes a new control structure based on the parallel interconnection of a filtered repetitive controller and a resonant structure applied to uninterruptible power supplies — UPS. In particular, the filter in series with the repetitive controller adjusts the phase angle between resonant and repetitive loops, improving in this way the tracking performance. A particular filter structure is proposed, and an augmented state formulation is derived. Controller design is then carried out by the solution of an optimization problem with linear matrix inequalities constraints. Experimental results on a commercial 3.5kVA UPS illustrate the closed-loop performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ELECTRIC power distribution grids , *SMART power grids - Abstract
The dc offset and scaling errors in the voltage measurements cause the injection of undesired dc and harmonic currents into the three-phase output currents of the grid-connected inverter. This study proposes an enhanced current control scheme to eliminate the dc and harmonic currents caused by voltage distortion and voltage measurement error in three-phase grid-connected inverters. The proposed current controller is designed in the synchronous (d-q ) reference frame and composed of a proportional resonant (PR) controller and a repetitive controller (RC). The role of the RC is to regulate the grid current follow the reference value as well as compensate all 6\rmn\omega {\rm{s}} and (6\rmn\pm 2)\omega{\rm{s}}\,(n= 1,\,2,\,3,\ldots) harmonic components caused by distorted grid voltage and scaling errors. Meanwhile, the PR controller helps to compensate the dc current generated by dc offset measurement errors to guarantee that the three-phase grid currents are balanced and sinusoidal with extremely low dc component. Since the RC employed in the proposed current controller reduces to time delay by four times compared to the conventional RC, the proposed control system ensures good steady-state performance of the grid current without deteriorating its fast dynamic response. The effectiveness of the suggested solution is verified by various experimental tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the low-cost configuration of the lateral active suspension system for the high-speed train. First, the full-scale railway vehicle dynamics with 17-degree-of-freedom are introduced, where the actuator saturation, suspension deflection, and random and periodic track irregularities are considered. Then, based on the internal model principle, some classic active vibration control methods, e.g., the PID, positive position feedback, repetitive, and resonant controls, are unified as an internal model (IM)-based form and an IM-based resonant control is further presented. After that, to suppress various vibrations, three principles are presented to set the damping ratio and natural frequency of the IM-based resonant controller according to the properties of the controlled plant and/or the external disturbances. In consequence, an active suspension with the IM-based resonant controller is designed to improve the ride quality of the high-speed train, where the H\infty method is used to calculate the unique gain. Moreover, the configuration of the active suspension is low cost and consists of two independent control systems, where one control system only has a pair of actuators and an accelerometer. Finally, the random and periodic track irregularities are employed to show the efficiency of the proposed resonant-control-based active suspension by comparing with the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and H\infty controllers.

The operation of active power filters (APFs) under nonideal grid conditions, such as grid-frequency fluctuation and voltage harmonics, can lead to significant degradation in harmonic compensation performance. This paper proposes an adaptive digital-control scheme for a three-phase APF for use in harmonically distorted and variable-frequency grid conditions. This scheme is comprised of a grid-frequency adaptive resonant current controller and an enhanced synchronous-reference-frame phase-locked loop (SRF-PLL). The PLL uses an inherently stable adaptive-filtering stage to improve grid phase and frequency estimates in the presence of voltage harmonics. The improved PLL frequency estimate is used to update the resonant gains of a PI + vector-proportional-integral current-control scheme, implemented in the SRF. This enables the APF to maintain optimal performance in distorted grid conditions. The performance of the proposed APF control scheme is evaluated in a test microgrid, with a 15-kVA three-phase voltage-source converter configured as the APF, a 90-kVA grid emulator utilized to replicate distorted grid conditions, and a load emulator implemented to draw harmonic currents. The control scheme presented here is shown to demonstrate significant performance improvements under nonideal grid conditions compared with equivalent adaptive and nonadaptive methods.

An integral plus resonant sliding mode direct power control (IRSMC DPC) strategy for voltage source converter high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems under unbalanced grid voltage conditions is proposed in this paper. Through detailed instantaneous power flow analysis, a generalized power compensation method, by which the ratio between the amplitude of active and reactive power ripples can be controlled continuously, is obtained. This enables the system to provide flexible power control, so that the desired performance of the system on both the ac and dc sides can be attained under different operating conditions. When the grid voltage is unbalanced, one or both of the active and reactive power terms contain ripples, oscillating at twice the grid frequency, to obtain non-distorted ac current. A power controller consisting of the proportional, integral and resonant control laws is designed using the sliding mode control approach, to achieve accurate power control objective. Simulation studies on a two-terminal VSC-HVDC system using MATLAB/SIMULINK (R2013b, Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA) are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the IRSMC DPC strategy. The results show that this strategy ensures satisfactory performance of the system over a wide range of operating conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a method for suppressing the low-frequency portion of dc-link ripple inevitably present in power conversion systems with reduced capacitance is proposed. The discussed active capacitance reduction circuitry (consisting of a feedback-controlled shunt-connected bidirectional buck-boost converter, terminated by a small auxiliary capacitance) directly regulates the dc-link voltage, utilizing a dual-loop control structure with parallel-connected multiresonant-bank-enhanced voltage loop stabilizing controller to achieve nearly constant, low-frequency-ripple-free steady-state dc-link voltage. Consequently, the proposed active capacitance reduction system may be perceived as a virtual infinite capacitor from the dc link point of view. The suggested circuitry is successfully applied to a single-phase commercial power factor correction front end in a nearly plug-and-play fashion. The control algorithm effectiveness is fully supported by simulations and experimental results. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper proposes a novel control strategy to deal efficiently with the recurrent frequency and amplitude adjustments that occur in standalone microgrid application. These frequent variations are commonly introduced by the droop based controllers in order to accurately regulate the power sharing among the parallel connected distributed generators. In this way, a double current and voltage control structure based on adaptive proportional plus multi resonant controllers is designed to address the aforementioned challenges. The proposed adaptive control technique allows maintaining high performance voltage reference tracking with a reduced rate of harmonic distortion in spite of load transients and under significant operating frequency deviation. The designed control structure is then expanded to parallel-distributed generation units through a modified droop based power-sharing controller. Experimental results are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed adaptive control scheme and its effectiveness to cope with large frequency variations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High Altitude Wind Power (HAWP) generating system provides clean energy at low cost and high capacity factor due to reduced size of the turbine and high speed streamlined wind at high altitude. An air-borne wind turbine (AWT) at high altitude extracts kinetic energy from wind using buoyancy provided by the blimp/aerostat. The generated electrical power is then transmitted to the ground based station (without any power conditioning) using the transmission lines (tether). The power conversion system (PCS) for harnessing HAWP is proposed in this paper. The proposed PCS consists of a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) rectifier, a three-level NPC DC–DC converter followed by a two-level inverter. Modelling, design and control of the PCS are presented and discussed. The PCS provides generation side maximum power-point tracking (MPPT) using sensorless optimal torque control technique. The DC–DC converter provides electrical isolation as well as voltage step-down functions. A modified proportional resonant (PR) control which can selectively eliminate lower order current harmonics of the grid-connected inverter is also presented. The proposed control scheme of the PCS is evaluated through simulation studies using software programs like PSIM and MATLAB. A scaled-down 1 kW laboratory prototype of the complete PCS is designed, built and tested. The experimental test results obtained validate the proposed control scheme for efficient power generation from high altitude wind and interface to the grid/load. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates a combined resonant–repetitive (RR) control structure for a three-phase four-leg dc/ac converter power supply. The RR control configuration is composed by a resonant controller tuned at the system fundamental frequency working in conjunction with a plug-in-type repetitive controller. The resonant part of the control scheme is used to assure prompt tracking of the inverter output voltage and to achieve as fast as possible system response to load variations; to this purpose, it is tuned at the fundamental frequency. At the same time, the resonant controller is able to stabilize the system without the necessity of any further additional controller; the repetitive part of the scheme is implemented for the fine regulation at the system harmonic frequencies. The proposed control configuration is used to regulate the power supply output voltage, providing very good tracking of the output voltage reference even in the presence of a nonlinear load. Experimental validation from a 40-kVA converter prototype is presented to validate the operation of the proposed converter and control. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

It was found that thermoacoustic solar-power generators with resonant control are more powerful than passive ones. To continue the work, this paper focuses on the synthesis of robustly resonant controllers that guarantee single-mode resonance not only in steady states, but also in transient states when modelling uncertainties happen and working temperature temporally varies. Here the control synthesis is based on the loop shifting and the frequency-domain identification in advance thereof. Frequency-domain identification is performed to modify the mathematical modelling and to identify the most powerful mode, so that the DSP-based feedback controller can online pitch the engine to the most powerful resonant-frequency robustly and accurately. Moreover, this paper develops two control tools, the higher-order van-der-Pol oscillator and the principle of Dynamical Equilibrium, to assist in system identification and feedback synthesis, respectively.

Current control is a common feature in power electronics voltage source converters connected to the grid. In this scenario frequency drifts can entail a big loss in performance of these controllers, significantly worsening the quality of the power delivered to the grid. This article focuses on the study and implementation of current control algorithms for DC-AC voltage source converters (VSCs) that are able of both reducing the harmonic contents of the grid current and maintaining the selectivity of the current control against frequency drifts, so that the stability of the system is preserved. Two types of current control techniques are investigated here, namely, resonant and repetitive controllers. A thorough study of alternative implementation structures is carried out whilst spelling out the frequency-adaptive algorithm in each case. Besides, basic guidelines for their software implementation are given and the computational load for each alternative is analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Control of the current harmonics is a critical issue for dual three-phase (DTP) permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). Considering the limitations of conventional synchronous frame proportional-integral (PI) current regulator, this paper presents a hybrid current controller that combines the PI current regulator with a multiresonant controller. With the proposed hybrid current controller, precise current control can be achieved with only a slight increase in the computational effort.

The principle of equal modal damping is used to give a unified presentation and calibration of resonant control of structures for different control formats, based on velocity, acceleration–position or position feedback. When introducing a resonant controller the original resonant mode splits into two, and if these are required to have the same modal damping ratio, the characteristic equation conforms to a two-parameter format. By selecting a suitable relative separation of the modal frequencies, the design problem defines a one-parameter family – determined, for example, in terms of the resulting modal damping ratio. While velocity feedback, and the associated acceleration–position formats, lead to near-equal resonant peak heights of the velocity in a frequency response diagram, position feedback leads to balanced acceleration peaks. It is demonstrated, how a simple additional time derivative term in the control coupling can change these properties into balanced position and velocity peaks, respectively. In particular this gives an improved control format based on measurement of structural displacement or deformation. In all cases the optimal calibration in terms of a root locus identification leads to a simple explicit pair of design formulae for controller frequency and damping ratio based on a simple two -degrees-of-freedom system. Unconditional stability is demonstrated for a general multi-degrees-of-freedom system with multiple controllers for the velocity and acceleration-velocity formats, while the position and extended position feedback format give a simple stability condition in terms of the gain factors and the structure flexibility matrix. The paper concludes with a simple design procedure based on the desired effective damping of a flexible structure with equal modal control in any of the discussed resonant formats.

This paper investigates the use of adaptive repetitive and resonant control approaches for the control of a single-phase hybrid cascaded multilevel converter designed to interface with power grids of highly distorted voltage waveform. The proposed repetitive/resonant control (RPC/RSC) is used for the extraction of clean phase angle, frequency, and magnitude information of the fundamental grid voltage together with the control of the converter current and mitigation of current harmonics under distorted grid voltage and variable frequency. The RPC time period and the RSC resonant frequency are updated adaptively using the estimated grid frequency while interpolation is used to preserve the RPC rejection capability under noninteger number of time steps per period. Detailed modeling and experimental investigation of the proposed control scheme are carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an active control logic for vibration suppression in flexible structures. This control logic, called Active Modal Tuned Mass Damper, is based on an active realization of the passive mechanical Tuned Mass Damper. Starting from the traditional TMD theory, a closed loop formulation is proposed to calculate the active control force. The possibility to describe every linear mechanical system or civil structure with a set of modal coordinates allows to act independently on each d.o.f. The technique is compared with different solutions already proposed in literature, such as the Independent Modal Space Control and the Positive Position Feedback. Numerical simulations, based on a FEM linear model, are carried out to investigate the pro and con of each logic. Finally an experimental campaign has been performed in order to validate the proposed control logic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Within power systems, high-power pulsewidth-modulated ac–dc converters are used in flexible ac transmission systems controllers and for interfacing renewable energy sources to the grid. These converters traditionally employed PI controllers designed in the synchronous dq-frame with decoupling of d and q axes. Recently, stationary \alpha\beta-frame proportional-resonant (PR) controllers have been proposed. Though both types of control are suitable for the regulation of three-phase converters, the PR controller displays steady-state and dynamic behavior that differs significantly from that of decoupled dq-frame controllers. This paper derives a stationary frame controller that is the exact equivalent of the commonly used synchronous frame controller with \omega L decoupling. The new stationary frame “PRX2” controller consists of a proportional (P), a resonant (R), and two cross-coupling components. The PRX2 controller offers identical transient and steady-state performance and has the same frequency response as the decoupled synchronous frame PI controller. Unlike other stationary frame controllers containing resonant components, the PRX2 controller is unique because it contains a cross-coupling feedback component, which accounts for the behavior of the \omega L decoupling branches present in synchronous frame controllers. It is shown that ignoring this decoupling component greatly increases the controller's sensitivity to frequency variation. Numerous stationary frame controllers, including the common PR controller, may be derived from the general PRX2 controller. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Performance degradation is, in general, regarded as a power quality problem. One solution to recover grid performance is through the application of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). Although these devices are multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems, the most common control strategies consist of two decoupled controllers, which neglect the coupling effects and add uncertainty to the system. For this reason, this paper proposes a multivariable resonant observer-based control strategy of a UPQC system. This method includes all significant coupling effects between this system and the grid. This strategy results in a stability-based compensator, which differs from recently proposed strategies that are based on signal calculation and cannot assure closed-loop stability. In addition, this paper introduces a simplified controller tuning strategy based on optimal conventional methods without losing closed-loop performance. It implies that the controller can be easily tuned, despite the complexity of the MIMO dynamic model. The UPQC with the resonant observer is verified on an experimental setup for a single-phase system, obtaining three relevant results for power quality improvement: (1) harmonics compensation tested with a total harmonic distortion limit of 5%; (2) sags and swells mitigation; and (3) power factor correction, achieving a unitary value on the grid side.

This paper concentrates on a robust resonant control strategy of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for electric drivers with model uncertainties and external disturbances to improve the control performance of the current loop. Firstly, to reduce the torque ripple of PMSM, the resonant controller with fractional order (FO) calculus is introduced. Then, a robust two degrees-of-freedom (Robust-TDOF) control strategy was designed based on the modified resonant controller. Finally, by combining the two control methods, this study proposes an enhanced Robust-TDOF regulation method, named as the robust two degrees-of-freedom resonant controller (Robust-TDOFR), to guarantee the robustness of model uncertainty and to further improve the performance with minimized periodic torque ripples. Meanwhile, a tuning method was constructed followed by stability and robust stability analysis. Furthermore, the proposed Robust-TDOFR control method was applied in the current loop of a PMSM to suppress the periodic current harmonics caused by non-ideal factors of inverter and current measurement errors. Finally, simulations and experiments were performed to validate our control strategy. The simulation and experimental results showed that the THDs (total harmonic distortion) of phase current decreased to a level of 0.69% and 5.79% in the two testing environments.

PERFORMANCES - Abstract
This paper proposes an enhanced dynamic control strategy for a grid emulator. The proposed control switches between resonant and predictive controls in order to benefit from the advantages of both controls and to cope with their drawbacks. It ensures good dynamic performance in transient state and very low error in case of parametric or load variation during steady state. The most used control for grid emulator based on power converters is the one based on resonant controllers. Although this control is characterized by its robustness against parameters and load variation, it suffers from low performance in transient operation. The predictive control, which is characterized by its fast dynamic performance in transient state, can be used to overcome the resonant controllers limit. An exhaustive theoretical study reinforced by simulation and experimental results validate the capability, robustness and high performances of the proposed dynamic control strategy.
