  • Patent number: 11177732
    Abstract: A component includes an adaptive estimator. A converter includes a switching rectifier connected to an LCL filter with a converter inductor, a capacitor, and grid inductor connected to a voltage source through a conductor with unknown inductance. Current of the converter inductor is input to the adaptive estimator which includes an ideal LCL filter model that generates, using a simple filter, a desired dynamic behavior of the converter and LCL filter and a disturbance compensator. An LCL steady-state (“SS”) compensation models a steady-state effect of the LCL filter and conductor. Output of the adaptive estimator is subtracted from output of the LCL SS compensation to form a disturbance estimate, which is summed with a feedback loop output of the converter to form a voltage control signal that controls switching of the switching rectifier. The voltage control signal is summed with the disturbance estimate and is input to the adaptive estimator.
