description This article presents a three-phase four-wire inverter to generate voltage sources under wide filter inductance variation. The voltage sources with distortion and unbalance are to emulate grid voltages. The distortion includes voltage sags, voltage swells, and harmonic components, and the unbalance includes voltage and phase-angle differences. With a conventional PI control and direct digital control (DDC) only, the voltage distortion cannot fulfill precisely because of the improper controls. While with the proposed modified DDC (PDDC) and harmonic-angle adjustment algorithm, the soft core saturation can be taken into account and the harmonic voltage distortion can be accurately emulated, respectively. Moreover, the proposed control scheme can achieve a fast transient response. The control law is derived and the inverter with the control to generate grid voltage is described in detail. Simulated and experimental results from the 10-kW prototype have verified the analyses and discussions.
