TL;DR: The SMC using equivalent control function outperforms the other methods in terms of chattering, THD and PF in the grid during balanced and unbalanced grid voltage conditions even in the existence of nonlinear loads.
Abstract: Development of control technologies facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources to the grid through power electronic converters. In this study, the inverter acts as shunt active power filter along with the power conversion operation. Various sliding mode control (SMC) techniques namely relay and signum method, hysteresis method and equivalent control method are implemented to control the real, and reactive power flow between Renewable Energy System (RES), load and grid using an inverter. To reduce the complexity, the control law (u eq) for equivalent control method is derived using a simple single-phase equivalent circuit of a three-phase voltage source inverter. In this study, the robustness is enhanced by choosing the integral sliding surface. These controllers are used to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) and to ensure unity power factor (PF) in the grid during balanced and unbalanced grid voltage conditions even in the existence of nonlinear loads. The SMC using equivalent control function outperforms the other methods in terms of chattering, THD and PF. To illustrate the effectiveness, three different modes are considered: (i) no RES power, (ii) insufficient RES power and (iii) excess RES power. The performance of controllers is validated by the simulation and experimental results.

TL;DR: This article constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals containing several symmetric positive definite matrices to obtain robust finite-time stability and stabilization of the uncertain linear system with a non-differentiable time-varying delay.
Abstract: Practical systems such as hybrid power systems are currently implemented around the world. In order to get the system to work properly, the systems usually require their behavior to be maintained or state values to stay within a certain threshold. However, it is difficult to form a perfect mathematical model for describing behavior of the practical systems since there may be some information (uncertainties) that is not observed. Thus, in this article, we studied the stability of an uncertain linear system with a non-differentiable time-varying delay. We constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) containing several symmetric positive definite matrices to obtain robust finite-time stability (RFTS) and stabilization (RFTU) of the uncertain linear system. With the controller and uncertainties in the considered system, there exist nonlinear terms occurring in the formulation process. Past research handled these nonlinear terms as new variables but this led to some difficulty from a computation point of view. Instead, we applied a novel approach via Cauchy-like matrix inequalities to handle these difficulties. In the end, we present three numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of our proposed theory.

Abstract: From the Publisher: This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory—and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB. It avoids highly mathematical arguments, and features an abundance of examples and worked problems throughout the book. Chapter topics include the Laplace transform; mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, electrical systems, fluid systems, and thermal systems; transient and steady-state-response analyses, root-locus analysis and control systems design by the root-locus method; frequency-response analysis and control systems design by the frequency-response; two-degrees-of-freedom control; state space analysis of control systems and design of control systems in state space.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new instantaneous reactive power compensator comprising switching devices is proposed, which requires practically no energy storage components, and is based on the instantaneous value concept for arbitrary voltage and current waveforms.
Abstract: The conventional reactive power in single-phase or three- phase circuits has been defined on the basis of the average value concept for sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms in steady states. The instantaneous reactive power in three-phase circuits is defined on the basis of the instantaneous value concept for arbitrary voltage and current waveforms, including transient states. A new instantaneous reactive power compensator comprising switching devices is proposed which requires practically no energy storage components.

TL;DR: The results show that the predictive method controls very effectively the load current and performs very well compared with the classical solutions.
Abstract: This paper presents a predictive current control method and its application to a voltage source inverter. The method uses a discrete-time model of the system to predict the future value of the load current for all possible voltage vectors generated by the inverter. The voltage vector which minimizes a quality function is selected. The quality function used in this work evaluates the current error at the next sampling time. The performance of the proposed predictive control method is compared with hysteresis and pulsewidth modulation control. The results show that the predictive method controls very effectively the load current and performs very well compared with the classical solutions
