The virtual impedance concept is increasingly used for the control of power electronic
systems. Generally, the virtual impedance loop can either be embedded as an additional …

In this paper, a novel descriptor estimator-based incipient fault estimation scheme is
designed for Lipschitz nonlinear descriptor systems with process disturbances and …

This paper proposes a low-voltage ride-through scheme for the permanent magnet
synchronous generator (PMSG) wind power system at the grid voltage sag. The dc-link …

The energy sector is moving into the era of distributed generation (DG) and microgrids
(MGs). The stability and operation aspects of converter-dominated DG MGs, however, are …

A typical finite-set model predictive control (FS-MPC) scheme for LC-filtered voltage source
inverters (VSIs) requires measurements of capacitor voltage and inductor current as well as …

This paper describes a direct-torque-controlled (DTC) induction motor (IM) drive that
employs feedback linearization and sliding-mode control (SMC). A new feedback …

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear
systems. The control systems for MMCs are required to simultaneously achieve multiple …

The conventional grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter is controlled by a dual-loop
control strategy in synchronous reference frame, and the controllers are designed for steady …

Robotic and mechatronic systems, autonomous vehicles, electric power systems and smart
grids, as well as manufacturing and industrial production systems can exhibit complex …

Along with the power electronics widely applied in the power systems, the control
performance of power electronic system plays an important role in the modern power …
