Robust Fuzzy-Second Order Sliding Mode based Direct Power Control for Voltage Source Converter

This paper focuses on a second order sliding mode based direct power controller (SOSM-DPC) of a three-phase grid-connected voltage source converter (VSC). The proposed control scheme combined with fuzzy logic aims at regulating the DC-link voltage of the converter and precisely tracking arbitrary power references, in order to easily control the system’s power factor. Therefore measures are proposed to reduce the chattering effects inherent to sliding-mode control (SMC). Simulations performed under Matlab/Simulink validate the feasibility of the designed Fuzzy-SOSM. Simulation results on a 1kVA grid-connected VSC under normal and faulted grid voltage conditions demonstrate good performance of the proposed control law in terms of robustness, stability and precision.
