An Alternative Current-Error Based Control for VSC Integration to Weak Grid (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Givaki, K., Chen, D., Xu, L., & Xu, Y. (2018, August). An Alternative Current-Error Based Control for VSC Integration to Weak Grid. Presented at 2018 IEEE PES General Meeting, Portland, OR, USA

An enhanced current control strategy is proposed for voltage source converters for the integration to weak grids. The
control derives from the current-error based vector control. By implementing simple close-loop compensations of both angle and magn... Read More about An Alternative Current-Error Based Control for VSC Integration to Weak Grid.
