... Therefore, in order to reduce the low-order harmonics in the current caused by the inductance variation, a proportional-integral (PI) control method based on the combination of a linear and non-linear controller is proposed in [6]. Moreover, a new control strategy based on a proportional resonant (PR) regulator is given in [7]. By using the online adaptive estimation of a non-linear filter inductor, the harmonic compensators' gains of the PR regulator can be reduced, and the acceptable total harmonic distortion (<5%) is achieved. ...
