ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the design of a repetitive feedback controller for a grid-connected two-level three-phase voltage-source inverter connected between a DC source and the grid through an LCL filter. The controller incorporates a classical two loop feedback of the output current and the capacitor current in addition to a repetitive feedback loop. The results show that the proposed technique improves the steady state error and the total harmonic distortion of output current in presence of utility harmonics.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a review of the state of the art of power electric converters used in microgrids. The paper focuses primarily on grid connected converters. Different topologies and control and modulation strategies for these specific converters are critically reviewed. Moreover, future challenges in respect of these converters are identified along with their potential solutions.

ABSTRACT: This paper is concerned with active control of vibrations of tall structures subjected to strong wind or earth quake shocks using an active mass damper (AMD). A linear black box model of the systems is obtained from an experimental scale model of the structure. Two alternative control systems, and associated observers are designed and their performance assessed theoretically and experimentally.
