Alternative voltage control strategies for current-regulated PWM inverters are analyzed, including previously established feedforward and feedforward/feedback controllers and a newly proposed decoupling feedback control strategy. The steady-state and dynamic characteristics of each of these control methods are illustrated and compared for a selected inverter design. It is shown that the feedforward controller exhibits steady-state error and an undesirable overshoot of the output voltages during startup. The addition of a feedback loop eliminates the steady-state error and reduces the overshoot; however, the natural response is underdamped regardless of the choice of feedback gains. A decoupling feedback control strategy that eliminates the disadvantages of the feedforward and feedforward/feedback controllers is described. Using the decoupling feedback controller, it is possible to eliminate the steady-state error and place the closed-loop poles wherever desired. Moreover, if the closed-loop poles are selected appropriately, it is possible to eliminate the overshoot of the output voltages during startup transients.
