Robust active damping control of LCL filtered grid connected converter based active disturbance rejection control

This paper deals with the problem of LCL filter resonance in grid connected inverter control. The system equations are reformulated to allow the application of the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). The resonance, assumed unknown, is treated as a disturbance, then estimated and mitigated. By using this new robust control, a high level of performance is achieved with a minimum complexity in the controller design, and without any adaptive algorithm. It is demonstrated that the true quality of the control system is obtained by the proposed solution. Furthermore, it is shown that this control is robust against parameter variations and disturbances.
