Deadbeat Weighted Average Current Control with Corrective Feed-forward Compensation for Microgrid Converters with Non-Standard LCL Filter ABSTRACT: Microgrid converters are required to have the capability of both grid-tied mode and islanding mode operation. For this dual-mode operation, large shunt capacitors are often used in the interfacing converter output LCL filter, as it can help to stabilize supply voltage and to reduce switching ripple pollutions to sensitive loads during autonomous islanding operation. At the same time, this modification causes a few challenges, including the low frequency harmonic distortions, the steady-state tracking errors and the slow dynamic response, to the line current regulation during grid-tied operation. To overcome these drawbacks, a modified weighted average current controller is developed. First, to realize a fast line current response, a deadbeat control of weighted average current is developed based on a reduced-order virtual filter plant. Second, a grid voltage feed-forward term is added to the weighted average current reference to mitigate the steady-state line current tracking errors. Note that this compensation term is directly added to the current reference, thus, it is very well decoupled from the closed-loop current regulator. In addition, it can be seen that the low-order line current harmonics caused by grid voltage distortion is inherently compensated by this proposed corrective feed-forward control.

CONCLUSION: An enhanced current controller is proposed in this paper. The research work of this paper is summarized here as: 1) In order to realize rapid control of converter current, the deadbeat control is applied to regulate the weighted average current based on a virtual filter plant. 2) The feed-forward compensator is developed to mitigate the steady-state fundamental current tracking errors caused by conventional weighted average current control. 3) The frequency-selective capacitor leg current estimation is proposed and the corresponding compensation term can be used to increase the robustness of the converter against grid harmonic distortions. The design and implementation of this compensator are highly decoupled from the
