WOS: 000448383600025 ; This paper proposes a synchronous reference frame (SRF) based high performance output voltage controller for the 3-level 3-phase 4-leg (3P4L) advanced T-type neutral point clamped (AT-NPC) inverter operated in stand-alone mode. 3-phase inverters for standalone operation are required to provide 3-phase balanced nominal voltage under different load types such as unbalanced linear and non-linear loads. 3P4L inverters working with these types of load allow controlling zero sequence voltage by additional fourth leg. The main contribution of this work is the control of the 3-level 3P4L AT-NPC inverter with an LC-type filter modeled based on the output voltage and capacitor current feedback in the synchronous coordinate system. According to obtained capacitor current decoupled model, double loop PI controller is adopted to control the output voltage of the inverter. An inner capacitor current feedback loop is employed to provide fast dynamic response and active damping of the capacitor current. Finally, transient and steady state operation performance of the controller have been tested with PSIM simulation studies considering different load types. Simulation results validate that the proposed SRF based double loop PI controller ensure high dynamic response and high quality output voltage with less than 3% total harmonic distortion (THD) value for the 3-level 3P4L AT-NPC inverter. ; Scientific and Technological Research Council of TurkeyTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [215E357] ; This study is supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (Grant No. 215E357)
