Abstract

A quasi-continuous-time approach to the design of a digital PID control for DC/AC inverters with LC filter that use semiconductor switches producing PWM output voltage is presented. It is shown that an appropriately chosen continuous-time model of the digital controller with the PWM converter behaves like the actual discrete-time system, which allows for a simple controller design. SIMULINK models are used to validate this approach for a nonlinear rectifier load. The outcomes are compared with a real inverter experiment.
