Dual Grid Voltage Modulated Direct Power Control of Grid-Connected Voltage Source Converter under Unbalanced Network Condition

Abstract

The Grid voltage Modulated Direct Power Control (GVM-DPC) for Voltage Source Converter (VSC) is a recently proposed superior control strategies which features several advantages such as fast power reference tracking, simple structure, no need to use synchronizing techniques, strong robustness and so on. In this paper, an improved Dual Grid Voltage Modulated Direct Power Control (D-GVM-DPC) strategies for unbalanced grid voltage condition is proposed and compared with regular voltage oriented dual PI control techniques. The idea of this improvement is to separately control the positive and negative sequence power components based on the original GVM-DPC controller. The simulation results shows that the proposed strategy is superior to the dual current control schemes been used with voltage oriented control strategy.
