Abstract

This paper investigates a disturbance observer-based fuzzy adaptive voltage controller for three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter of a standalone distributed generation (DG) unit in the existence of system uncertainties. The proposed control law includes only a voltage control loop, which has advantages such as a simple control structure and a fast transient response due to the direct control of the output voltage. Next, a disturbance observer is presented to reduce the number of the sensors and improve the control performance. Besides, the proposed strategy is insensitive to any system uncertainties, because it does not require any accurate knowledge about system parameter and load current information. Experimental results on a prototype DG unit with a TMS320F28335 DSP are demonstrated to validate the superior performance of the proposed control scheme over the conventional proportional-derivative (PD) control method and feedback linearization control (FLC) method under sudden load disturbances, system uncertainties, and nonlinear load.
