Abstract

- Three-phase grid-connected converters are widely used in renewable and electric power system applications. Traditionally, grid-connected converters are controlled with standard decoupled d-q vector control mechanisms. However, recent studies indicate that such mechanisms show limitations. This paper investigates how to mitigate such problems using a neural network to control a grid-connected rectifier/inverter. The neural network implements a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm and is trained using backpropagation through time. The performance of the DP-based neural controller is studied for typical vector control conditions and compared with conventional vector control methods. The paper also investigates how varying grid and power converter system parameters may affect the performance and stability of the neural control system. Future research issues regarding the control of grid-connected converters using DP-based neural networks are analyzed.
