First-Order and High-Order Repetitive Control for Single-Phase Grid-Connected Inverter

Abstract EN

With the increasing demand of users for power sources and quality, how to provide high-quality renewable clean energy has become a key issue of power electronics.

The main idea of this paper is to develop a composite control including a PI control and repetitive control for a single-phase grid-connected inverter to eliminate the effects of harmonics, which can obtain better steady-state and dynamic responses of the single-phase inverter system and reduce the net current harmonics.

The modelling of a single-phase inverter is first introduced; then a first-order repetitive control is developed for the proposed grid-connected inverter.

Moreover, a high-order repetitive controller is adopted to further improve the robustness against the uncertainties in the period of signals.

The stability and performance analysis are given for the first-order repetitive control and high-order repetitive control.

Finally, comparative simulations are conducted in a circuit-level inverter model, which show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
