Abstract

A method of controlling the grid-side current of a single-phase grid-connected converter having an LCL filter connected between the output of the converter and the grid includes measuring a grid voltage and at least one signal in a group of signals consisting of a grid-side current, a converter-side current and a capacitor voltage, estimating the fundamental component of the grid voltage, forming a grid-side current reference, a converter-side current reference and a capacitor voltage reference for the grid-side current of the LCL filter, forming estimates for the non-measured signals in the group of signals, forming a grid-side current difference term, a converter-side current difference term and a capacitor voltage difference term, and controlling the output voltage of the converter based on the grid voltage, a formed injection term and a formed estimate of the harmonic distortion term to produce a grid side current corresponding to the current reference.
