    摘要: A method for estimating a fundamental component of an AC voltage includes receiving a timely varying measurement signal of the AC voltage; parametrizing a fundamental component of the AC voltage; and determining parameters of the fundamental component based on minimizing a cost function. The fundamental component has a rated frequency, a variable amplitude and a variable phase shift. The cost function is based on an integral of a norm of a difference between the measurement signal and the parametrized fundamental component via a time horizon. The time horizon starts at an actual time point and goes back via a predefined length. The cost function includes a term based on a norm of the difference between a value of the fundamental component at the actual time point and a value of a previously estimated fundamental component at the actual time point, where the previously estimated fundamental component has been determined for a previous time point.

    摘要: The present application is directed to an electrical converter having at least one of an active rectifier and an inverter interconnecting an electrical source with an electrical load. A method for controlling the electrical converter includes receiving at least one estimated control variable, receiving at least one outer loop control variable provided by an outer control loop and determining a control region based on a control error and selecting control parameters based on the control region. The control method then predicts at least one reference control value based on a solution of a physical model of the electrical converter. The solution is based on a constraint that minimizes a difference between the at least one estimated control variable and the at least one outer loop control variable. The control method then determines switching states of the electrical converter based on the reference control value.
