Summary: | In inverters based on a single proportional-integral (PI) or deadbeat (DB) controller, an inherent resonance peak may emerge near their current loop cut-off frequency, which results in harmonic amplification or even resonance. Additionally, inappropriate filter circuits implemented in sampling circuits may result in the expansion of the resonance peak. Thus, this paper further investigates the influence of the sampling circuits on a PI- or DB-based control loop. Then, the RC filter in the sampling circuit is designed to reduce the inherent resonance peak. Moreover, a compound control strategy based on an improved repetitive controller (IRC) plus a PI controller is adopted for the grid-side converter of a direct-drive wind system. This strategy enhances the harmonic and reactive compensation performance by reconstructing the internal model of the classic repetitive controller (CRC) and limiting the bandwidth of the PI-based loop to a low level. The parameters of the presented IRC-plus-PI control are designed for the purpose of resonance peak elimination and system stability. Furthermore, the non-integer delay problem is solved with an inserted fraction compensator (FC), which plays the role of a low-pass filter in the IRC. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented control method is verified by the experimental results.
