An adaptive proportional resonant controller for single phase PV grid connected inverter based on band-pass filter technique

Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive proportional resonant (PR) controller for single phase grid connected inverter that adapts its control parameters to grid impedance variations. Forth order band bass filter is designed and then integrated with the adaptive scheme for on-line detection of any variations in the resonance frequency. The estimated frequency is then processed by statistical signal processing operation to identify the variations in the grid impedance. For the on-line tuning of the PR parameters, a look-up table technique is utilized and its parameters are linked with the estimated impedance values. Simulation results based on MATLAB environment clearly verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for 2 kW grid connected inverter system.
