REGULATION APPARATUS FOR A CURRENT CONVERTER, CURRENT CONVERTER ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR REGULATING A GRID COUPLED CURRENT CONVERTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521611 titled 'REGULATION APPARATUS FOR A CURRENT CONVERTER, CURRENT CONVERTER ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR REGULATING A GRID COUPLED CURRENT CONVERTER
Simplified Explanation
The method for regulating a grid-coupled current converter involves adjusting the control voltage based on the output voltage of the converter and limiting the voltage deviation between the control voltage and the output voltage.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for regulating a grid-coupled current converter includes adjusting a control voltage for the current converter in dependence on an output voltage of the current converter. The method provides limiting a voltage deviation between the control voltage and the output voltage. In embodiments, the limitation of a control voltage indicator takes place in amplitude and angle, wherein control ranges for amplitude and/or angle are adjusted depending on the situation. In further embodiments, the limitation takes place in coordinates of coordinate axes that are orthogonal and rectilinear to each other. Further, in a method for regulating a current converter, when determining a control quantity, a potential difference of the output voltage and a reference potential of a bridge voltage of the current converter is considered. Alternatively or additionally, contribution of a voltage oscillation in an intermediate circuit to the bridge voltage is considered.
