A new approach to control a grid-connected synchronverter by using a dual heuristic dynamic programing (DHP) design is presented. The disadvantages of conventional synchronverter controller such as the challenges to cope with nonlinearity, uncertainties, and non-inductive grids are discussed. To deal with the aforementioned challenges a neural network–based adaptive critic design is introduced to optimize the associated cost function. The characteristic of the neural networks facilitates the performance under uncertainties and unknown parameters (e.g. different power angles). The proposed DHP design includes three neural networks: system NN, action NN, and critic NN. The simulation results compare the performance of the …

In this paper a neural network heuristic dynamic programing (HDP) is used for optimal control of the virtual inertia-based control of grid connected three-phase inverters. It is shown that the conventional virtual inertia controllers are not suited for non-inductive grids. A neural network-based controller is proposed to adapt to any impedance angle. Applying an adaptive dynamic programming controller instead of a supervised controlled method enables the system to adjust itself to different conditions. The proposed HDP consists of two subnetworks: critic network and action network. These networks can be trained during the same training cycle to decrease the training time. …
