Abstract: As a cost-effective and reliable alternative to standard three phase PWM converters, the low cost converters have attracted great attentions today. While the research trends mainly focused on using these converters for AC motor drives, some successful efforts in grid connected applications are also reported. These works use the voltage oriented technique to regulate the active and reactive power exchanges with the electric grid. This paper presents a dead beat direct power control strategy for grid integration of low cost three phase PWM converters. While keeping the advantages of fast and accurate power control associated to the VOC technique, the proposed strategy offers a considerably simpler algorithm. Extensive simulation and experimental results are provided which confirm the validity of the proposed technique. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
