Analysis and design of a closed loop controller for bidirectional high-frequency link inverter

This paper presents a closed loop controller for bidirectional high-frequency link inverter. Deadbeat control is adopted to achieve fast dynamic response. The controller consists of inner current loop and outer voltage loop. To improve overall performance of the system, additional decoupling networks are employed. Output voltage decoupling network is included to improve the response of current loop; while load current decoupling network is used to increase the robustness of the inverter towards load variation. Simulation results are presented for the closed loop system under linear and nonlinear loads. It is shown that the control method provides good dynamic response with low total harmonic distortion, even under full-bridge rectifier loads.
