(2023) Enhancement of the voltage control response in three-phase photovoltaic inverters with small dc capacitors. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2023.3261312.0093-999410.1109/TIA.2023.3261312https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/45679In the case of photovoltaic (PV) inverters, an adequate dc voltage regulation is fundamental to maximize or limit the power injected into the grid. However, the traditional control requires a large dc capacitance to ensure stability in the whole operating range while the existing alternatives, despite achieving a stable control with a small capacitance, become too slow in the open-circuit area. This paper proposes two control methods to improve this performance. Firstly, a new voltage control with virtual impedance emulation is presented, showing that the response becomes faster in all operating points. Secondly, the control with impedance emulation is combined with a feed-forward compensation, further improving the dynamic response. Both methods are very simple to implement and their superior performance when using a small dc capacitance is verified by means of simulation results.application/pdfeng© 2023 IEEE.
