Abstract :
This paper investigates the performance of four-leg parallel inverters sharing unbalanced and nonlinear loads. An inner current and external voltage control loops are considered to control the parallel four-leg inverters. In this paper, a proportional controller for the current internal loop as well as a proportional-resonant one for the voltage external loop are considered to support the proper performance of the system. The proposed system is able to feed balanced, unbalanced, and nonlinear loads and provides an appropriate sinusoidal voltage waveform for loads by accurately sharing power between the parallel inverters. Simulation results verify the accurate and proper performance of the proposed system.
