RESUMO
Three-level T-type converters are necessary interfaces for distributed energy resources to interact with the public grid. Naturally, designing a control strategy, featuring superior dynamics and strong robustness, is a promising solution to guarantee the efficient operation of converters. This article presents an improved finite-time control (IFTC) strategy for three-level T-type converters to enhance the dynamic performance and anti-disturbance capacity. The IFTC strategy integrates a dual-loop structure to regulate the dc-link voltage and grid currents. Specifically, the voltage regulation loop employs a finite-time adaptive controller that can counteract load disturbances without relying on current sensors. In the current tracking loop, finite-time controllers combined with a command filter are constructed to obtain fast and accurate current tracking. In this loop, the command filter is utilized to avoid calculating the derivative of current references. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the IFTC strategy's effectiveness.
