Abstract :
In this paper control structure with robust performance in presence of parametric uncertainties of the converter in order to improve pure sinusoidal inverter in whole functional and loading conditions is rendered. The controller guarantees fast and accurate behavior of the converter in order to increase the output voltage quality and reduce output harmonics. This controller by sliding performance and utilizing output voltage and capacitor current used in the control process, not only has exact output voltage tracking from reference but also has ability to reject the periodic disturbances due to loading. Also, it guides error states to zero rapidly and makes transient states of the converter as well as possible at error moments that is the same high spikes and loads in output current. Another characteristic of the proposed controller is, improved stability region under wide ranges of loading in different conditions. Accuracy of proposed controller on a single-phase three level NPC inverter which has high sensitivity in control in order to increase quality, decrease harmonics and THD output has been compared with a single-slope sliding mode controller with the sane loading conditions and reference. The simulations results are obtained by MATLAB.
