Abstract:   (4301 Views)
Distributed generation (DG) will play an important role in future power generation systems, especially in stand-alone applications. Three phase four-leg inverter is a well-known topology which can be used as an interface power converter for DGs. Thanks to the fourth leg to provide the neutral path, the four-leg inverter is able to supply balanced loads as well as unbalanced loads. In this paper, the model of a three phase four-leg inverter with the fourth leg inductor in the αβγ reference frame is investigated thoroughly. Afterward, a decoupled model of the four-leg inverter is adopted to establish the proposed control method. Among non-linear control methods, pole-placement method is a famous solution to ensure fast transient response. Hence, in this paper, a pole-placement method via state feedback is proposed to control the output voltage of the four-leg inverter. Using this method, the transient performance of the system can be adjusted well. On the other hand, to guarantee good performance of the control system under steady state condition, a lead compensator is proposed to be used with the pole-placement method. Therefore, the proposed control system not only can provide fast dynamic response but also, it ensures very low steady state error. To validate the superior performance of the proposed control method, simulation and experimental results under various loading condition are provided based on a DSP-based digital control system.
