Abstract
Converting electrical energy from direct current to alternate current, or vice versa, is one of the most frequently performed tasks in today’s electrical systems. The Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is the most widely used topology to accomplish this task. This paper compares the performance of three control algorithms for voltage source inverter (VSI) with PI, PR and MP control algorithms were applied for voltage control and current control. For voltage control the VSI synthesizes the sinusoidal voltage system for an islanded application. In current control the VSI injects energy into the power grid by synthesizing sinusoidal currents. A general comparison is made of the performance of the three control algorithms under the presented conditions, helping to choose the control algorithm to use in a given application.
