Abstract

In this paper, a control framework is proposed to render a power electronic converter passive by using the port-Hamiltonian (PH) theory. As a result, the stability of the system is guaranteed if the rest of the system that the power electronic converter connects to is passive. The controller consists of two control loops, which form a passive port-Hamiltonian (PH) system, and one lossless block, which interconnects the passive block with the plant. In order to facilitate the implementation of the framework, a new word quorte is coined to represent the quantity that is dual to the torque. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control framework in both grid-connected and islanded modes.
