Abstract

The system performance of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) has a serious impact on the grid stability. To improve the control performance and shorten the convergence time, a predefined-time controller based on backstepping technology and dynamic surface control is formulated for the inverter in the grid-connected photovoltaic. The time-varying tuning functions are introduced into state-tracking errors to realize the predefined-time control effect. To address the “computational explosion problem” in the design process of backstepping control, dynamic surface control is adopted to avoid the analytical calculations of virtual control. The disturbances of the PV system are estimated and compensated by adaptive laws. The control parameters are chosen and the global stability of the closed-loop is ensured by Lyapunov conditions. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed controller and ensure the predefined time control in the photovoltaic inverter.
