This paper presents a new load sharing control between paralleled three-phase inverters in an islanded-microgrid based on the line impedance estimation online by the use of the Kalman filter. We can solve the mismatch of power sharing when the line impedance changes due to the temperature and frequency, significant differences of line parameters and requirements of Plug-and-Play mode of inverters connected to the microgrid. Moreover, the paper also presents a new Droop control method working with the line impedance which is different from the Droop traditional algorithm when the line impedance is assumed pure resistance R or pure inductance X. In the paper, the line impedance estimation for parallel inverters uses the least squares method combined with Kalman filter. In addition, secondary control loops are designed to restore the voltage amplitude and frequency of the microgrid by using a combined nominal value SOGI-PLL with generalized integral block and phase lock loop to exactly monitor the voltage magnitude and frequency phase at common PCC. Control model has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink with three voltage source inverters connected in parallel for different ratios of the power sharing. The simulation results have shown the accuracy of the proposed control method. Therefore, the proposed adaptive droop control method based on line impedance estimation can be an alternative one for load sharing control in islanded microgrids.

Abstract This article presents the direct torque control (DTC) strategy for the doubly fed induction motor (DFIM) connected to two three-level voltage source inverters (3LVSIs) with neutral point clamped (NPC) structure. This control method allows to reduce the torque and flux ripples as well as to optimize the total harmonic distortion (THD) of motor currents. The use of 3LVSI increases the number of generated voltage, which allows improving the quality of its waveform and thus improves the DTC strategy. The system modeling and control are implemented in Matlab/Simulink environment. The analysis of simulation results shows the better performances of this control, especially in terms of torque and flux behavior, compared to conventional DTC.

This paper presents a new soft-switching solution recommended for three-level neutral-point-clamped inverters. The operation principles of the proposed solution, working stages, selection of elements, and the control algorithm are comprehensively discussed herein. The control method of the inverter main switches is the same as that of the switches of an inverter operating according to the hard-switching technique. The correctness of the proposed solution was confirmed by the results of different tests using a laboratory neutral-point-clamped inverter with rated parameters of 3 kW, 2 × 150 V, 12 A, and 3 kHz. Numerical analyses were performed for the inverter of rated power 1.2 MW. The switching losses of the inverter operating with the proposed solution were compared with those of an inverter with hard-switching method. The proposed soft-switching solution increased the inverter efficiency and its competitiveness in relation to other proposals because there were no connections between switches and capacitors or inductors, which pose a risk of damaging the inverter when disturbances in the control system appear.
